MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash
—MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash is an AI model with 280M parameters released by z-lab. It has accumulated 30 downloads on Hugging Face since publication.
MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash ships with 280M parameters. Access is gated on Hugging Face — a manual approval step is required before weights can be downloaded.
MiniMax-M2.7-DFlash is best fit for general-purpose AI workloads. Treat this as a starting matrix rather than a benchmark verdict — the right deployment usually depends on the specific evaluation suite that mirrors your workload.
Minimax-optimal Scaling Laws in Ridge Regression via Transfer Learning
arXiv:2610.23337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pretrained models are often reused across downstream tasks, motivating the question of whether this transfer learning procedure can provide a substantial performance improvement, namely, in terms of the scaling law. We address this question in the prot
When Is Muon Optimal? Radial Fragility and Minimax Geometry
arXiv:2610.21549v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Muon replaces a matrix gradient by an approximate polar factor and has shown strong empirical performance in neural-network training. The Isotropic Curvature Model (ICM) provides a curvature-based explanation for this update by asking when gradient o
Two Sample Sizes in Test-Time LLM Ensembling: Buffered ERM and Minimax Theory
arXiv:2610.21363v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Test-time scaling can improve the performance of large language models by generating multiple answers to a question and aggregating them. Weighted ensembles extend this idea by drawing answers from several models, with the weights determining how oft
Discrete Diffusion Models are Minimax Optimal Under Sparsity
arXiv:2610.19020v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Discrete diffusion models have emerged as a leading alternative to autoregressive models for generating text and other categorical data, yet their theoretical foundations remain less developed than those of their continuous counterparts. For continuo
Minimax estimation of the pseudo-spectral gap of continuous Markov chains, with applications to empirical concentration bounds
arXiv:2610.20007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the minimax estimation of the pseudo-spectral gap $\gamma_{ps}$ of a Markov chain from the observation of a single trajectory. Extending earlier works on finite-state space chains by Wolfer and Kontorovich (2024), we provide an estimator in
Variance-Reduced Policy Gradient is Nearly Minimax-Optimal
arXiv:2610.13692v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard Policy Gradient (PG) algorithms suffer from high estimation variance because they rely on Monte Carlo updates. While off-policy variance reduction mitigates this problem, establishing optimal sample complexity currently requires either restr
