}Frequently asked questions
Running locally
MiniMax-M2.1 needs an estimated 159.9 GB of VRAM 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. On a 24 GB, 16 GB, 12 GB or 8 GB GPU, MiniMax-M2.1 does not fit at Q4, Q8 or FP16 (estimate).
Yes, at Q4. Assuming macOS lets the GPU use about 75% of unified memory, the smallest common Mac memory size that fits Q4 is an estimated 256 GB.
Privacy and data
Yes. MiniMax-M2.1 has open weights, so you can self-host it for full control of your data.
