MiniMax M2.7 Open Weights: Self-Evolving Model Handled 30-50% of Its Own RL Training
Story
Autonomously triggered log-reading, debugging, and metric analysis during reinforcement learning. Scored 56.22% on SWE-Pro at one-third the cost of GLM-5. Open weights release follows the Cursor Composer licensing controversy. Source
