Settings used for both runs match the Recommended inference settings below. Decode throughput is pending; this card will be updated when re-run under the token-counting harness.

Recommended inference settings

python

sampler_params = {
    "temperature": 1.0,
    "top_p": 0.95,
    "top_k": 40,
    "repetition_penalty": 1.1,
    "max_tokens": 8192,
}

Chat template — thinking mode

MiniMax-M2.7 uses a <think>…</think> reasoning block. Important: the base chat template injects <think>\n at the end of the prompt before generation, so the model's output begins inside the reasoning block with no opening tag. Strip everything up to and including the first </think>:

python

def strip_thinking(text: str) -> str:
    if "</think>" in text:
        return text.split("</think>", 1)[1].strip()
    return text.strip()

Give the model enough token budget that it can finish reasoning and emit the </think> closing tag — we recommend at least 4096, and 8192 for harder problems.

Usage

python

from mlx_lm import load, generate
from mlx_lm.sample_utils import make_sampler, make_logits_processors

model, tokenizer = load("baa-ai/MiniMax-M2.7-RAM-111GB-MLX")

sampler = make_sampler(temp=1.0, top_p=0.95, top_k=40)
logits_processors = make_logits_processors(repetition_penalty=1.1)

prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a Python function that reverses a string."}],
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
)

response = generate(
    model,
    tokenizer,
    prompt=prompt,
    max_tokens=8192,
    sampler=sampler,
    logits_processors=logits_processors,
)

if "</think>" in response:
    response = response.split("</think>", 1)[1].strip()
print(response)

Hardware

Apple Silicon Mac with ~128 GB unified memory recommended for comfortable inference.
Runs on less with swap, at substantially reduced throughput.
