}Frequently asked questions
Running locally
An estimated 159.9 GB at Q4, 279.9 GB at Q8 and 526.5 GB at FP16. These figures are estimates from the 229B parameter count, covering weights plus about 15% and 0.5 GB for a short context.
No. It does not fit on a 24 GB, 16 GB, 12 GB or 8 GB GPU at Q4, Q8 or FP16, according to estimates.
Yes, on a 256 GB Mac. Estimated VRAM at Q4 is 159.9 GB, and assuming macOS lets the GPU use about 75% of unified memory, 256 GB is the smallest common Mac memory size that fits (estimate).
Privacy and data
Yes. MiniMax-M2 has open weights, so it can be self-hosted.
Capabilities and specs
The context window is 205K tokens (204,800) and the maximum output is 131K tokens (131,072).
No. Its input modalities are text only.
Yes. Tool calling (function calling) is supported.
Yes. A reasoning mode is supported.
