In this video, I show you how to use MiniMax M2.7 inside Claude Code, set up the API key and settings file, run planning mode, use Claude Code Agent View, install agent skills, run subagents, test with a browser skill, and build a full Reddit clone workflow using a model that is comparable to older Opus-level coding performance at a fraction of the cost. πŸ“‚ Resources: β–Ί GitHub repo (config + prompts used in this video): https://github.com/leonvanzyl/reddit-clone-minimax-demo β–Ί MiniMax Platform: https://platform.minimax.io β–Ί How MiniMax trained M2.7 (the self-evolution blog): https://www.minimax.io/news/minimax-m27-en ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 MiniMax M2.7 vs Claude Opus 00:42 Use MiniMax in Claude Code 00:49 Claude Code settings setup 01:25 MiniMax API key 01:43 MiniMax token plans 02:33 MiniMax 12% discount 02:43 Add API key to Claude Code 02:59 Build a Reddit clone 03:05 Claude Code planning mode 03:23 Track MiniMax usage 03:54 Fast planning with MiniMax 04:01 Claude Code Agent View 04:30 Install agent skills 04:59 Start the dev server 05:17 Run the goal command 06:07 Create the design system 06:20 Use Claude Code subagents 06:35 Browser testing workflow 06:52 Loop command UI review 07:17 When MiniMax gets stuck 07:33 Better Auth and Next.js skills 07:54 Open-weight model limitations 08:11 Final Reddit app test 08:51 MiniMax usage cost 09:07 How MiniMax M2.7 was trained 10:00 Try MiniMax M2.7 Business & sponsorship enquiries: leon@cognaitiv.ai #MiniMax #M2.7 #claudecode #agenticcoding #vibecoding

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional Β£25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
