so when MiniMax released a pretty capable model, you choose to ignore the model itself and just focus a single sentence they wrote in the release note and started bad mouthing it.
is it a cultural thing?

It’s called bikeshedding and yes it’s a cultural thing on HN. [1]
Most people here are big company worker bees where they take zero risks and do very little of substance.
In these organizations, it’s common for large groups of people to get together in “meetings” and endlessly nitpick surface-level details of unimportant things while completely missing the big picture because it’s far too complex to allow for easy opinions or smart-sounding critique.

It’s the first thing in this press release. Start with garbage? I’m going to assume it’s all garbage.
you are more than welcomed to call it garbage or whatever else you like. they will just catch up fast and eat your lunch in 6-12 months time.
btw, full weights are now available for download.
I’m not even sitting at the table. I’m a spectator. What’s your argument/allegiance here? The original article is hyped-up drivel. The model could be amazing and that’s still the case.
If I use a software I need to trust it.
a model is not software, it is a bunch of weights.
you are more than welcomed to pick whatever model or software you choose to trust, that is totally fine. However, that is vastly different from bad mouthing a model or software just because its release note contains a single sentence you don't like.
The API is software. You don't get the weights.
The weights are open.

Huh, I couldn't find that in the article when I posted my comment. I checked again now and it's there.
