# MiniMax-M3-FP8-dynamic

## Model Overview

This model is an FP8 dynamic quantized version of [MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3](https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3).

- Base model: `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3`
- Optimization: FP8 dynamic quantization
- Format: safetensors / compressed-tensors
- Validated runtime: vLLM OpenAI-compatible server
- Tested hardware: AMD MI350, tensor parallel size 8

MiniMax-M3 is a native multimodal MoE model. The original model card describes it as a ~428B parameter model with ~23B activated parameters and 1M context support.

## License

This quantized checkpoint follows the license terms of the base model, [MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3](https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3). The Hugging Face model-card metadata uses `license: other` because the MiniMax community license is not one of the Hub's enumerated license identifiers.

## Model Optimizations

This checkpoint uses FP8 dynamic quantization to reduce memory and disk requirements while preserving model quality. Validation below compares this quantized checkpoint against the BF16 `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3` baseline.

## Evaluation

The model was evaluated against BF16 `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3`. Scores are averaged across seeds.
