About MiniMax Group
MiniMax Group is a Chinese artificial intelligence company headquartered in Xuhui District, Shanghai, founded in December 2021 by researchers from SenseTime, including its chairman and chief executive Yan Junjie. Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since January 2026, it belongs to the group of laboratories known as China's "AI tigers" and works under the stated mission of "Intelligence with Everyone", advancing towards artificial general intelligence.
The company develops its own family of foundation models with text and multimodal capabilities — language, speech, image, video and music — and turns them into AI-native products such as MiniMax Code and MiniMax Design, the Hailuo AI video generation platform and the Talkie character app (Xingye in China). It also runs an open platform that gives enterprises and developers worldwide API access to its models, with documentation, API keys and voice cloning and speech synthesis services.
According to its own website, its models and products have cumulatively served more than 300 million individual users across over 230 countries and regions and more than two million enterprise customers and developers across over 100 countries. That combination of model research, large-scale consumer products and platform services for third parties makes it one of the leading generative AI companies to emerge from China in this decade.
