It needs about 205 GB for Thinking Machines' NVFP4 build on recent NVIDIA or AMD datacentre GPUs, and Tinker or DeepInfra host it. The main risks are a use policy that binds on download and can change, and no outside safety results.\n\n**MiniMax-M2.7.** A 230B mixture-of-experts model for coding and agent harnesses, with parallel tool calls, about 200K of context and parsers in vLLM and SGLang. It needs a 4 GPU server for FP8 or about 166 GB for a 4-bit library build, and it always thinks. The main risk is the licence, switched to non-commercial two days after release.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Inkling-Small\n\n1. Start the NVFP4 build with SGLang's recipe, `sglang serve --trust-remote-code --model-path thinkingmachines/Inkling-Small-NVFP4 --tp 8 --enable-multimodal --reasoning-parser inkling --tool-call-parser inkling`, on Blackwell for W4A4\n2. Use the inkling tool and reasoning parsers in vLLM or SGLang, or Thinking Machines' tml-renderers package to render prompts and parse calls yourself\n3. Pass `reasoning_effort` as none, minimal, low, medium, high (the default) or max, or a number from 0 to 0.99. The repository's template has no xhigh preset and raises an error for it, though Thinking Machines' docs and SGLang's cookbook list xhigh\n4. Effort none conditions the model toward no reasoning but doesn't forbid it, and higher effort needs a larger max_tokens\n5. Tool call arguments must reach the template as an object, not a JSON string, or it raises an error\n6. Images should be 40 to 4096 px a side and audio 16 kHz WAV under two minutes, per the card\n7. Use guided decoding or validate JSON yourself, since structured output isn't documented\n8. Read the Model Acceptable Use Policy before deploying, it binds on download and bars some uses that are legal\n\n### MiniMax-M2.7\n\n1. Check the use is personal, research or non-profit before starting it; anything commercial needs MiniMax's written authorisation, and commercial users must show Built with MiniMax M2.7\n2. Start it with vLLM on 4 GPUs of 96 GB, SAFETENSORS_FAST_GPU=1 vllm serve MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 --trust-remote-code --tensor-parallel-size 4 --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser minimax_m2 --reasoning-parser minimax_m2_append_think\n3. In SGLang use --tool-call-parser minimax-m2 and --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think, with --trust-remote-code\n4. MiniMax's guides budget 220 GB for the weights and 240 GB per 1M tokens of KV cache, with 196K the most per sequence\n5. On one large-memory machine, LM Studio's catalogue entry minimax/minimax-m2.7 lists a 138 GB Q4_K_M GGUF and states 138 GB minimum memory\n6. Sample with temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95 and top_k 40, as the card recommends, and budget output tokens for thinking on every turn\n7. Pin Transformers 4.57.1 as MiniMax's guide does; a report that it fails on Transformers v5 has no answer\n8. Without the hardware, call it through Novita, Featherless AI or DeepInfra; MiniMax's own API retires M2.7 on 18 November 2026\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Inkling-Small or MiniMax-M2.7?\n\nInkling-Small scores 66.5 (B) on agent readiness against MiniMax-M2.7's 56.1 (C), and leads in 3 of 5 scored categories.
