MiniMax thanked builders who quantized its 428B-parameter M3.1 Flash model, including Unsloth's 2-bit dynamic GGUF weights at 143.9 GB, MLX quants for Apple Silicon, AMD's MXFP4 version for Instinct GPUs and a 4x RTX 3090 setup. It says lower-bit weights cut the memory needed and the data moved during decoding....
