China’s MiniMax Launches New Model as Open-Source AI Coding Battle Heats Up
Chinese AI developer MiniMax on Monday launched a new large language model called M3, saying the new model’s coding capability approaches that of Anthropic’s Opus 4.7, which was released in April. The new MiniMax model is particularly suitable for coding and complex multi-step tasks for AI agents, according to the company. It can understand text, images and video in prompts.

I knew it was this way but it's really hitting me today how much the Open Source movement and copyright maximalism supplanted the idea of free software, and again how much the Free Software movement turned from a close ideological cousin of the remix and open culture movement into a culture of legalism. At the same time, copyright law itself has been extended to be near-immortal copyrights rather than brief monopolies to spur creation by enabling profit from creating works.

RE: https://dice.camp/@realms/116459545804565917
I'd argue that "AI"-based development creates a bigger attack surface on closed source/proprietary software than open source software:
1. It's more likely that internal software development uses LLMs as they're most affordable to companies; leaving them more vulnerable to prompt injection and other types of attacks targeting LLM use.
2. It's more likely that internal commits aren't vetted as much (or even purely vibe-coded) as ones in open source projects.
3. It's more likely that attacks on open source projects are discovered quicker.
Also a reminder that the "Mythos" thing—like all the other doomerist things coming out of "AI" companies—is a marketing stunt to get Anthropic free press coverage.

This tangled.org GitHub alternative built on top of ATproto, open source, with self hosting capabilities and the ability to run your own CI sure seems like a gift of the gods.
