What MiniMax does

Chinese AI company building large language and multimodal foundation models, powering consumer apps and enterprise APIs.

Earns from two sides: consumer apps such as Talkie, an AI character-chat app, and Hailuo, a video generator, sold by subscription and in-app purchases, and fees for access to its models by developers and companies. Much of its consumer revenue comes from users outside China. It spends heavily on computing power to train its models.

In one line: A Chinese OpenAI/Character.AI hybrid, building foundation models and consumer AI apps.
