EstimateBetween 18 Oct 2026 and 22 Nov 2026
From the last 12 gaps between MiniMax releases. Gaps of 10 days or less are left out, because that much time has already passed. The window covers the middle 80% of the gaps that are left.
How often windows like this were right: 12 of 14 times for MiniMax, 315 of 437 times (72%) across all labs, replaying each lab's past releases. A window aims for 8 in 10.
