High-signal r/LocalLLaMA updates from the last 24 hours, focused on concrete model/tool releases and deployment-relevant changes.

Models

• MiniMax M2.7 licensing clarification: community discussion flagged that the latest M2.7 release is not OSI-open-source, which materially affects commercial/self-host adoption planning.
