MiniMax announced a series of SF Tech Week events, headlined by the Oct 8 "Intelligence in the Open" research night:
- Theme: AI systems contributing to their own improvement — autonomous experimentation, post-training, synthetic data, verifiers, and self-improving agents.
- PostTrainBench: MiniMax will discuss M3 running full cycles of data synthesis, training, evaluation, and iteration on pretrained models.
- Schedule: Oct 6 with friendliai, Anaconda, and kilocode on frontier models and high-speed inference; Oct 7 with novitalabs, Nous Research, and vercel on the open-source AI stack; Oct 8 research night with Fireworks AI, DigitalOcean, Modular, and RadixArk/SGLang.
- Speakers: Fireworks' Yi Su (Gen-1 trained on MiniMax-M3, using autonomous agents to design rewards and training recipes), DigitalOcean's principal ML engineer, RadixArk/SGLang core contributor, Modular performance engineer, and more.
