MiniMax-M2-BF16

MiniMax-M2-BF16 (locally converted from FP8)

This repository contains a BF16-converted checkpoint from MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.

Conversion

The conversion script is included in this repo:

• minimax_fp8_to_bf16.py

Method (high level):

1. Load FP8 tensors from safetensors shards.
2. Dequantize each FP8 tensor with its corresponding *_scale_inv tensor.
3. Save dequantized weights in BF16 format.
4. Remove *_scale_inv entries from model.safetensors.index.json.
