MiniMax released M2.7, a 230B-parameter MoE model activating only 10B parameters per token (4.3% activation rate), scoring 56.22% on SWE-Pro near Claude Opus level. Initial excitement (514↑, 166cmts) was immediately dampened when r/LocalLLaMA users discovered the license bans all commercial use without prior written permission, including paid services, APIs, and fine-tuned deployments (131↑, 135cmts). The license controversy post has a 1.03 comment-to-score ratio, indicating intense debate over the model being 'DOA' for the open-source community.
