MiniMax Open Platform

MiniMax is named after an algorithm, an AI startup founded in December 2021, known as All in AGI. Actively participate in the tide of the rapid development of China's artificial intelligence technology, and strive to become the infrastructure builder and content application creator of the general artificial intelligence era. As a technology company in China that has the ability to integrate multiple modalities of text, speech, and vision into a universal large model engine and connects the entire product chain, the MiniMax team is committed to using leading universal artificial intelligence engine technology to improve user feedback levels and integrate multimodal AI technology through multi scenario and multi-dimensional applications and interactions, promoting the transformation of the new paradigm of universal artificial intelligence technology.

Born over a year ago, we have independently developed basic model architectures for three modalities: text to visual, text to audio, and text to text. We have built a computational inference platform on top of these basic models. It is said that MiniMax employees first gave the large model a nickname called "ABAB" to imitate the language ability training. In the early stages, the model had unclear speech like a baby, only knowing "Aba Aba".

The specific capabilities of the model were first tested on the company's to C virtual chat software product Glow, which was released in November last year. In Glow, users can create intelligent agents with background settings and specific personalities based on their preferences. Through content generation and user feedback, the AI capabilities behind the large model are constantly iterated, similar to the RLHF behind ChatGPT. Within four months of its launch, Glow's user base approached 5 million.
