MiniMax Reports 159% Revenue Jump in First Post-IPO Results, Sets Global AI Platform Ambition

The company targets a broader open-source platform footprint with an M3 model launch slated for the first half of 2026.

Overview

  • Full-year 2025 revenue rose to US$79 million, beating estimates, with more than 70% of sales generated outside China.
  • Product revenue led by consumer subscriptions grew 143.4%, and its open platform and enterprise services posted similar gains.
  • The net loss widened to US$1.87 billion, driven largely by valuation changes in financial instruments alongside higher R&D spending.
  • CEO Yan Junjie said MiniMax will compete as both a model maker and a product platform while maintaining an open-source approach to draw developers.
  • The update follows a January Hong Kong IPO that raised HK$4.8 billion, with shares more than quadrupling and a 1.44% dip before the results as analysts cast the firm as a lower-cost alternative to U.S. proprietary systems.
