Background & analysis
According to a discussion in the Reddit LocalLLaMA subreddit on 2026-11-02, MiniMax had posted a thank-you the previous day to everyone quantizing MiniMax M3.1 Flash (428B, 252.4 GB). The poster went through the versions the company named and listed each builder's own figures, noting that separate eval sets make the numbers non-comparable.
The most aggressive cut was for 128 GB PCs: Maya-XS by PeasantSmith, 93 GB, with 88.8% top-1 agreement on tool calls and agents. For a single DGX Spark, SAGE-EXL3 by ViC305 runs 108.64 GiB, posting 96.89% top-1 on held-out sequences and 24.37 to 29.72 tok/s decode at 48K context. For 160 GB+ rigs, Unsloth UD-Q2_K_XL is 143.9 GB with 91.5% weighted top-1 across seven categories. A setup on 4x 3090 was also mentioned, though the excerpt cuts off there.
So the community squeezed the weights from 252.4 GB toward roughly 93 GB depending on the hardware target, and MiniMax acknowledged the work publicly.
