   Are the days of free open-source and shareware over?
   Fal-AI might have started this trend with the MiniMax-H3 spin into Fast-H3, but now there are a whole bunch of people on CivitAI selling Moss, Flux 3 Klein, Krea-2, MiniMax and other models' spinoff scaped together with the products of other people's hard work given to them free of cost.

    No-Regret Language Generation
    We introduce no-regret generation, which requires a generator to make a sublinear number of mistakes uniformly over all demonstration sequences and compatible target languages.

    Minimax-optimal Scaling Laws in Ridge Regression via Transfer Learning
    We address this question in the prototypical setting of high-dimensional regression, where (i) a pretrained source model is trained via ridge regression, and (ii) a fine-tuned target model is regularized via the $L2$ distance from the source estimator.

    Character swap with Minimax in Comfy - Cat Fiction
    I wanted to see if it was possible to recreate this Genjutsu spam (from Higgsfield) you get all over Tiktok (it is my understanding that it's a combo between Claude and Seedance 2.5) but with Minimax inside Comfy.

    Learning Rewards in Strategic Games
    Inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) provides a natural framework for this problem, but extending IRL to strategic multi-agent settings introduces a fundamental challenge: a reward that explains observed behavior does not necessarily induce optimal strategies when used for decision-making.

    I didn't do it, I did something else that might be even better
    so the idea i had was that the pixels in motion are not degrading as fast, the static pixels are the ones degrading quickly and i hypothesized that minimax, being as smart as it is, basically takes the degrading pixels in the background and degrades the moving ones to keep the image consistent.

    Dimension-Free PAC-Bayes Generalization for Deep Neural Networks via Dirichlet Processes
    Classical PAC-Bayesian generalization theory places prior distributions over Euclidean parameter space $Θ\subseteq \mathbb{R}^D$, causing relative entropy to scale with network dimension $D$.

    I currently have the plan because it was on promotion for 9.99 for 6 months, and I would like any information on how to set up a lora trainer for krea 2 and Anima in particular and something to generate videos with H3 Minimax.

    Dimension-Optimal Dynamic Regret in Exp-Concave Online Learning
    To achieve this improvement, we develop a proper, full-information learner on compact convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$ that adapts to the unknown path length and, under fixed dimension-independent diameter, gradient, and curvature parameters, guarantees

    On Global Joint Lower Bounds in Zeroth-Order Nonconvex Optimization
    Recent work has sought to transfer first-order nonconvex optimization guarantees to zeroth-order methods through gradient estimators, typically incurring a factor linear in $d$. \citet{kornowski2024} obtained an $\mathcal{O}(dδ^{-1}ε^{-3})$ oracle complexity for nonsmooth nonconvex optimization and asked whether its dependence on all three parameters is jointly optimal.
