[en] Short-period gas giant planets have been shown to be significantly rarer for host stars less massive than the Sun. We report the discovery of two transiting giant planets - TOI-2379 b and TOI-2384 b - with low-mass (early M) host stars. Both planets were detected using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry and for both the transit signal was validated using ground-based photometric facilities. We confirm the planetary nature of these companions and measure their masses using radial velocity observations. We find that TOI-2379 b has an orbital period of 5.469 d and a mass and radius of 5.76 +- 0.20 MJ and 1.046 +- 0.023 RJ and TOI-2384 b has an orbital period of 2.136 d and a mass and radius of 1.966 +- 0.059 MJ and 1.025 +- 0.021 RJ. TOI-2379 b and TOI-2384 b have the highest and third highest planet-to-star mass ratios, respectively, out of all transiting exoplanets with a low-mass host star, placing them uniquely among the population of known exoplanets and making them highly important pieces of the puzzle for understanding the extremes of giant planet formation.
