MiniMax M2, an open-weight sparse MoE model by Hailuo AI, launches with ≈200–230B parameters and 10B active parameters, offering strong performance near frontier closed models and ranking #5 overall on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v3.0. It supports coding and agent tasks, is licensed under MIT, and is available via API at competitive pricing. The architecture uses full attention, QK-Norm, GQA, partial RoPE, and sigmoid routing, with day-0 support in vLLM and deployment on platforms like Hugging Face and Baseten. Despite verbosity and no tech report, it marks a significant win for open models.

Context Engineering emerges as a significant trend in AI, highlighted by experts like Andrej Karpathy, Walden Yan from Cognition, and Tobi Lutke. It involves managing an LLM's context window with the right mix of prompts, retrieval, tools, and state to optimize performance, going beyond traditional prompt engineering. LangChain and its tool LangGraph are noted for advancing this approach. Additionally, OpenAI has launched ChatGPT connectors for platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, and Box, enhancing context integration for Pro users. Other notable news includes the launch of Vercel Sandbox, Cloudflare Containers, the leak and release of Gemini Code by Google DeepMind, and fundraising efforts by OpenRouter.
