Ich habe dokumentiert, was funktioniert hat, was nicht funktioniert hat, und die exakten Smoke Tests hier: Dank an @Tech2Wild für die Erstvorstellung. Ich habe es nur reverse engineered. Das Video unten hat 2,5 Minuten zur Generierung benötigt. Also haben wir noch einige Arbeit vor uns. cc: @vllmproject @MiniMaxAI @RyanLeeMiniMax github.com/joeynyc/MiniMax-H3-
