Agents at Scale: Inside MiniMax's Model and the Infrastructure Behind It — Olive Song Jul 31, 2026 · 20:14 MiniMax M3's open weights model requires complex infrastructure, including custom GPU kernels and advanced KV cache management, to support agentic and multimodal workloads at scale. The discussion covers the engineering challenges of 'day zero' deployment. The New Primitives: Building AI Native Software — Kwindla Kramer, Daily Aug 7, 2026 · 21:14 I was a baby programmer in 1995... The web page is still with us and it's still important and useful. But today we talk a lot more about web applications and native mobile applications than we talk about web pages. Bringing agents onto the world wide web — Paul Klein IV, Browserbase Aug 14, 2026 · 18:26 Solving overhang is an engineering problem, and this is the work that we can do within our companies and within our agents... The most reliable browser agents that we see in production right now are often writing code alongside using the browser to actually automate a task.

How MiniMax M3 Was Built: Sparse Attention and Native Multimodality — Olive Song Oct 10, 2026 · 15:03 MiniMax M3 combines agentic coding, 1M context, and native multimodality. The model uses MSA sparse attention, achieving 9x faster pre-fill and 15x faster decode vs. full attention. An Interaction Is All You Need — Ivan Leo, Google DeepMind Oct 3, 2026 · 17:04 The Gemini Interactions API and Managed Agents enable robust, stateful agentic workflows. Key features include persistent context via `interaction ID` and secure, remote sandboxes using `environment ID` for complex, multi-modal pipelines. Live from OpenAI DevDay 2026: Keynote Sep 29, 2026 · 53:38 OpenAI unveils Dots, always-on AI agents, and ChatGPT Space for team collaboration.
