MiniMax M1 Shakes Up AI World

MiniMax Launches M1: A Game-Changing Open-Source AI Model with Huge Memory

Chinese startup MiniMax has released M1, an open-source AI model that can handle 1 million tokens at once, the largest context window in the world. It performs as well as top open models but costs far less to train.

• M1 supports 1M input tokens and an 80k output “thinking budget”

• It performs especially well in software engineering and long-context tasks

• MiniMax created a new method called CISPO, which made training twice as fast and cost only $535k

M1 shows how Chinese AI labs are pushing the limits of what's possible with open-source models. With better efficiency and lower costs, it proves that smarter design can beat big budgets, making strong AI tools more accessible to everyone.

OpenAI vs Microsoft: Trouble Brews

OpenAI and Microsoft’s partnership is heating up, with major tensions threatening to spill into legal action. The two AI giants are clashing over key issues like compute access, intellectual property, and company control.

• The latest conflict started after OpenAI’s $3B acquisition of Windsurf, where it reportedly wants to keep the tech away from Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot.

• OpenAI is weighing a serious step: accusing Microsoft of anticompetitive behavior and calling for a federal investigation.

• OpenAI recently partnered with Google for cloud services, signaling a move to reduce its reliance on Microsoft.

This is not just a corporate spat, it’s a potential turning point in the future of AI leadership. If OpenAI takes legal action, it would mark a dramatic split from Microsoft, its biggest investor.
