MiniMax is holding a week of releases — two powerful models have already been released

Chinese startup MiniMax is following DeepSeek and is holding its own week of releases. What has already been shown:

On Monday — the M1 reasoning model in open source with a million context tokens (a record!). It cost only $500k, and according to the results it is approaching Gemini 2.5 Pro. Report, GitHub (https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/MiniMax-M1) and scales. (https://huggingface.co/collections/MiniMaxAI/minimax-m1-68502ad9634ec0eeac8cf094)
