MiniMax-M2: 229.9B-Parameter Mixture-of-Experts Model with Agentic RL

ai-technology · 2026-05-27

The MiniMax-M2 series presents a set of Mixture-of-Experts language models aimed at agentic applications. The primary model, M2, boasts a total of 229.9 billion parameters, with only 9.8 billion activated for each token. This series is built on three key elements: agent-driven data pipelines that generate extensive verifiable trajectories in agentic coding and cowork, anchored in an executable workspace with an artifact-aligned reward; Forge, a scalable RL system tailored for agents that accommodates long-horizon trajectories, utilizing windowed-FIFO scheduling, prefix-tree merging, inference optimization, and a clear separation of training, inference, and agents for both white-box and black-box types; and the latest M2.7 checkpoint, which marks an initial move towards self-evolution by autonomously debugging its training processes and altering its own code.
