In the last few years, Chinese AI startup MiniMax has become one of the most exciting in the crowded global AI marketplace, carving out a reputation for delivering frontier-level large language models (LLMs) with open source licenses and before that, high-quality AI video generation models (Hailuo). The release of MiniMax M2.7 today — a new proprietary LLM designed to perform well powering AI agents and as the backend to third-party harnesses and tools like Claude Code, Kilo Code and OpenClaw — marks yet a new milestone: Rather than relying solely on human-led fine-tuning, MiniMax has leveraged M2.7 to build, monitor, and optimize its own reinforcement learning harnesses. This move toward recursive self-improvement signals a shift in the industry: a future where the models we use are [...]
