🚨 @MiniMax_AI 𝗠𝟯.𝟭 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛 — 𝟰𝟮𝟴𝗕 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦. 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗚𝗫 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞. 𝟵𝟳% 𝗧𝗢𝗞𝗘𝗡 𝗔𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧! 🧪🔥 I've done it AGAIN, and this time I'm releasing TWO new SAGE-EXL3 quantizations of the brand-new MiniMax M3.1 Flash! 428B total parameters. 23B active. Native 1M-token context capability. My goal was simple: 𝗦𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗘𝗭𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟, 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘. And the fidelity measurements are some of my most exciting yet! 🤯 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟢 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 #𝟭 — 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗚𝗫 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗠𝗮𝘅-𝗠𝟯.𝟭-𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵-𝗘𝗫𝗟𝟯-𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗘-𝟮.𝟭𝟱𝗯𝗽𝘄 📦 108.64 GiB checkpoint 🧠 96.89% Top-1 Token Agreement 🎯 99.75% Top-5 Agreement 📉 Mean KL Divergence: 0.02528 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗡 𝗔 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗟𝗘 𝟭𝟮𝟴𝗚𝗕 𝗗𝗚𝗫 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞! And YES, I already have a working vLLM serving configuration! But there's a catch, and I'll explain why shortly. 👀 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟣 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 #𝟮 — 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗗𝗚𝗫 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗦 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗠𝗮𝘅-𝗠𝟯.𝟭-𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵-𝗘𝗫𝗟𝟯-𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗘-𝟰.𝟮𝟲𝗯𝗽𝘄 📦 209.88 GiB checkpoint 🧠 98.44% Top-1 Token Agreement 🎯 99.94% Top-5 Agreement 📉 Mean KL Divergence: JUST 0.00592! 𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗬-𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗢𝗞𝗘𝗡 𝗔𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧! 🤯 That's exceptionally close to the unquantized reference in my held-out token-level evaluation. Both releases were measured against the original unquantized MiniMax checkpoint using full-vocabulary teacher-forced evaluation. These are quantization-fidelity measurements, not task pass rates or proof of mathematically lossless behavior. But THESE are the kinds of quality-per-bit results I'm chasing! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗠 𝗜𝗦𝗡'𝗧 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟 𝗔𝗡𝗬𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘. It's the inference engine. My current ONE-SPARK vLLM recipe WORKS, but it's still a WORK IN PROGRESS. The measured configuration currently reaches 32K context using a quantized KV cache. MiniMax M3.1 Flash supports up to 1M native context, but vLLM's memory overhead on this hardware is consuming headroom I'd rather dedicate to the model and its context. I could shrink the weights further to compensate. 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗦𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗘𝗟 𝗙𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗?! That's the wrong trade-off for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm optimizing for the BEST possible balance between model quality, memory usage and practical inference speed. And that's where something else I've been building comes in... ⚡ 𝗥𝗘𝗫𝗟𝟯. Our upcoming public inference engine and dedicated recipe are aimed at removing these limitations and making the model's full native context practical on Spark. We're continuing to validate that work before release. 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗘𝗗. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗥! 🚀 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗪𝗢-𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦! Here's where I'd love some help from the community! The 4.26 bpw model is already available on Hugging Face, but I haven't had the time to properly build and validate its TWO-SPARK serving recipe. If you have two DGX Sparks and experience with distributed inference, I'd LOVE to collaborate! Fork my GitHub recipe. Experiment. Submit a PR with your improvements and measurements.
