Factors that can delay Synthetic getting a model: * If it is unusually large, it may take time for them to acquire or free up GPU space to host it. * If it has a novel or unusual architecture (such as DeepSeek Sparse Attention for GLM 5), it will take time for inference engines like sglang to get reliable support for the model. * If the model has not yet been quantized to NVFP4, Synthetic will have to wait for NVIDIA to do that, or make one themselves, both of which can take some time. Additionally, it is worth keeping in mind that many models from labs known for creating open-weight models may either be closed source—such as Qwen 3.6-Plus—or available only through the lab's API for user testing and feedback (and to give the lab a profitable head start) but not yet released as open weights. This was the case with GLM 5.1 for a few weeks and remains true as of April 9th, 2026, for MiniMax M2.7. ==== When will Synthetic get Minimax M2.7? ==== M2.7 open weights became available on April 11. However, they're only available under a non-commercial license. Synthetic cannot host M2.7 unless MiniMax agrees to a business partnership.
