MiniMax has released the weights for its MiniMax-H3 model on Hugging Face, but the community license explicitly restricts access or redistribution of the model in any form for users in the US, UK, EU, and South Korea.
This region-specific restriction has sparked heated discussions within the developer community, with many questioning the strategic rationale behind the move.
