MiniMax M2.7 debuts with agent self-improvement

MiniMax has announced M2.7, its latest text model for complex agent harnesses and productivity tasks. The company says it improves software engineering, office editing, and tool use, with internal self-iteration producing a 30% gain on its evaluation set.

// ANALYSIS

This is MiniMax making a very specific bet: the moat is no longer just model quality, it’s the scaffolding that teaches the model how to improve itself inside agent workflows.

–MiniMax says M2.7 came from 100+ autonomous optimization cycles that tuned sampling, workflow rules, and loop detection.
–The official page positions it for software engineering, bug hunting, code security, ML tasks, Excel/PPT/Word editing, and complex tool use.
–MiniMax claims strong evals, including 56.22% on SWE-Pro, 1495 ELO on GDPval-AA, and 97% skill adherence on complex tasks.
–The product is also shipped with API access, a high-speed variant, and integrations for coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Codex CLI.

Plannotator 0.19.24 adds Amp support and configurable storage

Plannotator 0.19.24 is a substantial release that expands the tool beyond Claude Code with native Amp support, adds a `PLANNOTATOR_DATA_DIR` override so users can move the default `~/.plannotator` data directory, introduces Auto Mode in the permission selector for newer Claude Code versions, and fixes a Pi approval crash after plan acceptance. The update folds multiple stacked PRs into one release and pushes the project further toward a multi-agent review layer rather than a single-agent hook utility.

Aaronson says AI turns mathematicians into curators

Scott Aaronson says recent AI results in mathematics, including a GPT-5.5 Pro solution to Erdős’s Unit Distance Problem, suggest humans may increasingly focus on choosing questions and interpreting model outputs. He extends the argument to AI-written fiction and the Vatican’s AI encyclical as signs of a broader cultural shift.
