MiniMax's M2 series achieves frontier-level performance on agentic coding, office tasks, and reasoning with only ~10B activated parameters (from 229.9B total) through agent-native RL training, verifiable data pipelines, and early self-evolution capabilities. The approach demonstrates that sparse activation combined with specialized post-training can match much larger dense models.
