MiniMax updates M2.7 license, explicitly states free usage for personal use, commercial restrictions remain unchanged
ME News Report, April 15 (UTC+8), according to 1M AI News monitoring, two days after the license dispute, MiniMax’s Head of Developer Relations Ryan Lee added a new clause “Permitted Free Uses” to the license, formalizing the freedom for personal use from previous verbal commitments into legal text.
The new clause explicitly lists three types of free permitted uses: (a) personal use, including self-deployment for programming, building applications, agents, tools, integrations, research, and experiments; (b) non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and researchers for non-commercial research or education; © modifications of the model solely for the above purposes.
The overall license framework remains unchanged, still titled “NON-COMMERCIAL LICENSE,” with commercial use still requiring written authorization from MiniMax, covering paid services, commercial APIs, and fine-tuned commercial applications.
The previously controversial clauses 3 and 4 remain intact. In other words, individual developers can confidently deploy and run code themselves, but third-party platforms like OpenRouter that want to offer M2.7 inference services externally still need to obtain authorization from MiniMax.
