CHINA / LOCAL MODELS

MiniMax official API docs
MiniMax announced this coding-focused preview for bug fixes, feature work, agentic reasoning, and tool use. Official docs describe multimodal input, a 1M-token context window, and adjustable reasoning depth; access is through MiniMax Code and its Token Plan rather than public model weights.
Source: https://platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/text-generation
Hardware: Hosted preview only; model size and weights are not public, so a local hardware estimate is unavailable.
Hugging Face
Open-weight MoE model for coding and AI research, with native 1M-token context and a hybrid sliding-window/sparse-attention design. The model card says its weights and inference code are MIT-licensed.
Source: https://huggingface.co/NaiveAI/Naive-N0.5-Flash
Hardware: ~680GB VRAM at full precision (FP16/BF16), ~340GB at INT8, ~170GB at 4-bit (GGUF/AWQ) quantization. Effectively datacenter-only – multiple 80GB+ GPUs even at 4-bit quantization; not practical on consumer hardware. (MoE: only ~16B active per token, so inference speed is much faster than the total size implies, but full weights still need to be loaded.)
Hugging Face
MOPD2-upgraded MiMo-V2.6-Flash checkpoint that combines specialist teachers for longer-horizon agentic work, including scientific research, embodied tasks, and game development. Xiaomi also says the upgrade mitigates repeated tool calls; it retains text, image, video, and audio input.
Source: https://huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Flash-MOPD
Hardware: ~684GB VRAM at full precision (FP16/BF16), ~342GB at INT8, ~171GB at 4-bit (GGUF/AWQ) quantization. Effectively datacenter-only – multiple 80GB+ GPUs even at 4-bit quantization; not practical on consumer hardware. (MoE: only ~15B active per token, so inference speed is much faster than the total size implies, but full weights still need to be loaded.)
MiMo-V2.6-Pro-MOPD (XiaomiMiMo)

MOPD2-upgraded MiMo-V2.6-Pro checkpoint that combines specialist teachers for longer-horizon agentic work, including scientific research, embodied tasks, and game development. Xiaomi also says the upgrade mitigates repeated tool calls; it retains text, image, video, and audio input.
Source: https://huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Pro-MOPD
Hardware: ~2.2TB VRAM at full precision (FP16/BF16), ~1127GB at INT8, ~563GB at 4-bit (GGUF/AWQ) quantization. Effectively datacenter-only – multiple 80GB+ GPUs even at 4-bit quantization; not practical on consumer hardware. (MoE: only ~42B active per token, so inference speed is much faster than the total size implies, but full weights still need to be loaded.)
