Intelligence in the Open: A MiniMax Research Night

For our SF Tech Week edition, we’re bringing AI researchers, engineers, and founders together to explore a question: What happens when AI systems begin contributing to their own improvement?

Hosted at UpScaleX, the evening will focus on recursive self-improvement and the research leading toward it: autonomous experimentation, post-training, synthetic data, verifiers, and self-improving agents. We’ll also discuss MiniMax’s PostTrainBench, where M3 ran cycles of data synthesis, training, evaluation, and iteration on pretrained models.

Expect short research talks, an open discussion, food, and time to connect with speakers and other builders.

Speakers: To be announced.
