MiniMax Music Model Noted for Missing Encoder
kalomaze · x · 2026-08-23
A user noted that MiniMax's music model seems to have shipped without the encoder. The discussion also points out that most 'next token prediction' approaches for audio converge to RVQ or a hybrid of RVQ and diffusion decoders, and that a true foundation model for autoregressive sound prediction on general audio (like YouTube) does not yet exist.
