The gpt-4o-mini-realtime-preview model is a compact, lower-cost, realtime variant of GPT-4o designed to power speech and text interactions with low latency. It supports both text and audio inputs and outputs, enabling “speech in, speech out” conversational experiences via a persistent WebSocket or WebRTC connection. Unlike larger GPT-4o models, it currently does not support image or structured output modalities, focusing strictly on real-time voice/text use cases. Developers can open a real-time session via the /realtime/sessions endpoint to obtain an ephemeral key, then stream user audio (or text) and receive responses in real time over the same connection. The model is part of the early preview family (version 2024-12-17), intended primarily for testing and feedback rather than full production loads. Usage is subject to rate limits and may evolve during the preview period. Because it is multimodal in audio/text only, it enables use cases such as conversational voice agents.

The model supports “Lightning Mode” for high-speed, lightweight agent tasks, and “Pro Mode” for in-depth full-stack development, report generation, and web-based tool orchestration; its weights are fully open source and available for local deployment with vLLM or SGLang. MiniMax M2 positions itself as a production-ready model that enables agents to complete independent tasks, such as data analysis, programming, tool orchestration, and large-scale multi-step logic at real organizational scale.

StarCoder and StarCoderBase are Large Language Models for Code (Code LLMs) trained on permissively licensed data from GitHub, including from 80+ programming languages, Git commits, GitHub issues, and Jupyter notebooks. Similar to LLaMA, we trained a ~15B parameter model for 1 trillion tokens. We fine-tuned StarCoderBase model for 35B Python tokens, resulting in a new model that we call StarCoder. We found that StarCoderBase outperforms existing open Code LLMs on popular programming benchmarks and matches or surpasses closed models such as code-cushman-001 from OpenAI (the original Codex model that powered early versions of GitHub Copilot). With a context length of over 8,000 tokens, the StarCoder models can process more input than any other open LLM, enabling a wide range of interesting applications. For example, by prompting the StarCoder models with a series of dialogues, we enabled them to act as a technical assistant.
