MiniMax M2.1 launches as an open-source agent and coding Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with ~10B active / ~230B total parameters, claiming to outperform Gemini 3 Pro and Claude Sonnet 4.5, and supports local inference including on Apple Silicon M3 Ultra with quantization. GLM 4.7 demonstrates local scaling on Mac Studios with 2× 512GB M3 Ultra hardware, highlighting system-level challenges like bandwidth and parallelism. The concept of inference quality is emphasized as a key factor affecting output variance across deployments. Yann LeCun's VL-JEPA proposes a non-generative, non-autoregressive multimodal model operating in latent space for efficient real-time video processing with fewer parameters and decoding operations. Advances in agentic reinforcement learning for coding include self-play methods where agents inject and fix bugs autonomously, enabling self-improvement without human labeling, and large-scale RL infrastructure involving massive parallel code generation and execution sandboxes.
