Chinese artificial intelligence startup MiniMax is developing a large language model with 2.7 trillion parameters, which it plans to release as open source later this year. This ambitious project aims to make one of the largest AI models accessible to the public, according to The Decoder.
The open-source release could significantly impact AI development, offering researchers and developers worldwide a powerful tool to build upon. MiniMax’s model size far exceeds many existing large language models, signaling rapid advancements in the AI field.
For Japanese markets, this development highlights the growing competition in AI innovation from Chinese firms, which could influence technology investments and partnerships across FX, crypto, and equities sectors.
