MiniMax's Funding Story: 7 Rounds in 4 Years, Who is Driving China's First AI Capital Feast

MiniMax, a Chinese AI startup, has completed an IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after raising $1.5 billion across 7 funding rounds in just 4 years. Founded in early 2022 by former SenseTime executives Yan Junjie and Yun Yeyi, the company focuses on developing multimodal and large language models with the vision of "Intelligence with everyone." Key investors include Alibaba (largest external shareholder), Hillhouse Capital (first investor and largest financial backer), and Mihoyo, among others. MiniMax’s strategy combines foundational model development with practical applications, generating revenue through three balanced segments: companion AI apps (e.g., Talkie), content generation tools (e.g., Hailuo AI), and API services. The company navigated the competitive "war of a hundred models" in China, emphasizing both technological risk-taking—such as early bets on MoE architecture and linear attention models—and capital efficiency. Its approach reflects lessons from the previous AI wave: avoid over-customized enterprise solutions and prioritize scalable consumer applications. Despite market uncertainties and intense competition from tech giants, MiniMax went public not as a finale but as a means to secure more resources for ongoing R&D and expansion. The stock surged over 78% on its first trading day, reaching an HK$89.8 billion market cap.

Where Are the Promised Robotaxi and Mars Landing? Musk's 2025 Ends with 'Zero Deliveries'

As 2025 concludes, Elon Musk's major promises for the year—spanning autonomous vehicles, AI, government spending cuts, and space exploration—have largely gone unfulfilled. Tesla’s Robotaxi service, which Musk claimed would cover half the U.S. population and operate without human safety drivers by year-end, remains limited to parts of Austin, Texas, and still requires in-car monitors. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Musk, failed to cut $2 trillion in federal spending as pledged; instead, government expenditure increased by approximately $248 billion in the first 11 months of 2025. In artificial intelligence, xAI did not achieve General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) as Musk had projected. The demonstration of the long-delayed Tesla Roadster, potentially featuring “flying car” technology, also did not occur. Additionally, SpaceX’s goal of landing humans on Mars by 2025—a timeline Musk had repeated since 2016—was not realized. These repeated shortfalls have led to growing skepticism regarding the reliability of Musk’s public timelines and commitments.

Steam, Steel, and Infinite Intelligence

The article "Steam, Steel, and Infinite Mind" by Ivan Zhao, CEO of Notion, explores how AI is poised to become the defining technological material of our era, much like steel shaped the Gilded Age and semiconductors enabled the digital age. The author argues that while AI currently mimics past forms—like early films resembling stage plays or AI chatbots resembling search engines—it holds transformative potential. At the individual level, AI can elevate knowledge workers from "bicycles" to "cars," as seen with programmers who now use AI assistants to become dramatically more efficient. However, two key challenges remain: fragmented context across tools and the lack of verifiability in non-programming knowledge work. At the organizational level, AI acts like "steel" for companies, enabling them to scale without the inefficiencies of human communication as a bottleneck. It also parallels the steam engine, which initially replaced water wheels but later allowed entirely new factory designs. Most companies are still in the "water wheel stage," using AI within old workflows rather than reimagining operations around continuous, asynchronous intelligence. On an economic scale, AI could enable a shift from human-scale "Florence-like" organizations to AI-augmented "megacities" of knowledge work—larger, faster, and more complex, but also more powerful. The conclusion urges looking beyond the rearview mirror to imagine and build this new frontier of infinite intelligence.

Empowering AI, Paving the Way for Value: How Crypto Positions Itself in the Infrastructure Battle Before 2027?

The article discusses the contrasting empowerment approaches of Crypto and AI. Crypto offers "defensive" empowerment through decentralized financial sovereignty, enabling asset control without traditional intermediaries. While valuable, its growth has shifted from regulatory arbitrage to slower, regulated adoption, lagging behind AI's pace. AI provides "offensive" empowerment via exponential productivity gains, driven by scaling laws, compute expansion, and agent applications. Its growth is predictable and rapid. The author argues Crypto must integrate with AI to avoid becoming a niche speculative market. By positioning as AI’s value-layer infrastructure—through protocols like x402, AI Agent payments, and on-chain AI economies—Crypto can tap into AI’s scaling demand for transactions and automation. The window for this integration is before 2027, the anticipated timeline for AGI emergence. Success depends on leveraging AI’s growth rather than clinging to purely human-centric narratives.

Racing to Be the First Stock: The Substance, Capabilities, and Ambition of China's Largest Independent Model Company

Zhipu AI, China's largest independent large language model (LLM) company by revenue, has passed its listing hearing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a valuation of RMB 24.377 billion. Its IPO filing provides the first clear look at the financials of a major Chinese LLM player. From 2022 to 2024, Zhipu's revenue grew at a 130% CAGR, reaching RMB 310 million in 2024. Nearly 85% of its revenue comes from on-premise model deployments for enterprise clients, with the remainder from its MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) platform. Despite rapid revenue growth, the company reported significant adjusted net losses, driven overwhelmingly by R&D expenses which reached RMB 1.59 billion in H1 2025. A major portion of these costs is attributed to computing power, essential for training its flagship models. A key part of Zhipu's strategy is a "land and expand" approach: using strategic price cuts on its MaaS platform to attract a large user base (over 1.2 million enterprise developers) and then converting them into high-value on-premise clients. The release of its powerful open-source base model, GLM-4.5/4.6, which ranks among the top global models in several benchmarks, led to an exponential increase in API calls and token consumption. The company is betting that continued heavy R&D investment is necessary to stay at the forefront of the intensely competitive global AI market. Its leadership believes that possessing a superior base model is the ultimate product and the key to long-term growth, even if it requires substantial short-term losses. As one of the first Chinese LLM firms to file for an IPO, Zhipu's market debut is poised to be a major test for valuing China's independent AI industry.

Average Age 'Post-95s', Over a Billion USD in the Books: MiniMax Knocks on Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Door

MiniMax, a leading Chinese AI startup founded in December 2021 by former SenseTime executives, has filed for an IPO in Hong Kong, potentially becoming one of the fastest AI companies to go public. Specializing in full-spectrum AGI technologies—spanning text, voice, video, and music—MiniMax operates on a dual-strategy of "large model + AI-native applications." As of September 2025, it serves over 212 million individual users across more than 200 countries and regions, along with 100,000+ enterprise clients. Notably, over 70% of its revenue comes from overseas markets. Its AI-native products, including Haiduo AI, Xingye/Talkie, and MiniMax Voice, saw average monthly active users grow sharply to 27.6 million in the first nine months of 2025. Financially, MiniMax reported revenue of $53.4 million for the first three quarters of 2025, a 174.7% year-on-year increase. Despite an adjusted net loss of $186 million during the same period, the company demonstrated improved operational efficiency, with R&D expenses growing only 30% while sales and marketing costs fell 26%. Technologically, MiniMax has released several cutting-edge models: the voice model Speech 02, video generator Video 01 (and its upgrade Hailuo 02), and the open-source MiniMax-M2 text model—ranked among the top five globally. Its M2 model incorporates "Interleaved Thinking" for enhanced reasoning and agentic capabilities. The company is highly R&D-focused, with nearly 80% of its 385 employees in technical roles. The executive team is notably young, with an average age of 32. MiniMax plans to allocate 70% of IPO proceeds to R&D over the next five years to further advance its models and AI-native products.
