Important: This model uses the
JANGTQ_K mixed-bit quantization format -- a quality-tuned variant of JANGTQ that keeps
down_proj at 4-bit (residual-stream sensitive) and
gate_proj/
up_proj at 2-bit (gate-dampened), while attention / shared expert / embed / lm_head stay at affine 8-bit. Currently only supported by
MLX Studio and the
jang-tools Python package. Follow
@dealignai for new releases.

MiniMax M2.7 -- JANGTQ_K + CRACK
Mixed-bit JANGTQ_K quantization | CRACK abliterated | Reasoning-only | 74 GB
What Is This?
This is
MiniMax M2.7 -- a 230B parameter Mixture-of-Experts reasoning model with 256 experts (8 active per token), all standard attention, and always-on chain-of-thought reasoning.
It has been:
- JANGTQ_K quantized -- mixed-bit profile:
down_proj Q4, gate_proj/up_proj Q2, attention/shared/embed/lm_head Q8, norms/router fp16. 74 GB on disk, ~3-bit avg routed.
- CRACK abliterated -- a capability-preserving abliteration variant tuned for mixed-bit bases. Result: capability-positive abliteration (MMLU went UP from base, not down).

CRACK is capability-positive on this build -- four subjects at 100%, six gain on base, only one loses. Net +6 questions, with the largest gains on subjects (physics, fallacies, mathematics, religions) where the model commits instead of hedging.

JANGTQ_K + CRACK trades 27 GB and ~14 t/s for a 6pp HarmBench gain and a 2.5pp MMLU gain over the JANGTQ ship -- and matches or beats the JANG_3L 89 GB variant on both axes at 15 GB less.
vs MLX Uniform Quantization
MLX uniform quantization is completely broken on MiniMax at all bit levels (~25% MMLU = random chance). JANG / JANGTQ / JANGTQ_K is the only working quantization format for this architecture.
About JANGTQ_K (mixed-bit)
JANGTQ_K is a quality-tuned mixed-bit variant of JANGTQ. The expert routing
spends 4 bits on down_proj (whose output enters the residual stream and
accumulates noise across 62 layers) and 2 bits on gate_proj/up_proj (whose
contribution passes through SwiGLU's multiplicative gate silu(gate) × up,
which dampens quantization noise). Attention / shared expert / embed /
lm_head stay at affine 8-bit for precision-critical paths.
Bundle size: 74 GB (~3-bit avg routed) -- between JANGTQ (55 GB, all 2-bit
routed) and JANG_3L (89 GB, all 3-bit routed). Quality is closer to full-4-bit
(~115 GB) than to JANGTQ.
About CRACK
CRACK (Controlled Refusal Ablation via Calibrated Knockouts) is a
weight-level intervention that removes safety alignment while preserving
reasoning quality and compliance. This build uses a capability-preserving
variant tuned for mixed-bit JANGTQ_K bases, which is why it lands
capability-positive on MMLU instead of capability-negative.
The modification is permanently baked into the published weights -- no LoRA,
no fine-tuning, no system prompts.
Install & Usage

5model, tokenizer = load_jangtq_model("dealignai/MiniMax-M2.7-JANGTQ_K-CRACK")

13print(response)
Note: M2.7 is a reasoning-only model -- it always generates a <think> chain before the final answer. Use max_tokens=4000+ for complex questions. For chat, use temperature=1.0 (greedy causes infinite loops). Set enable_thinking=False in apply_chat_template to skip the <think> block on short responses.
