MiniMax is eyeing the upper end of its Hong Kong IPO pricing band, sources indicate—a strong signal that investors are hungry for Chinese tech challengers taking on US powerhouses like OpenAI. This pricing move reflects more than just capital appetite; it shows the market's conviction that homegrown AI startups can compete at scale. The enthusiasm underscores a broader shift: global capital is increasingly betting on non-US players in the AI race. Whether it's infrastructure, models, or applications, the competitive landscape is getting crowded—and that's reshaping where investment dollars flow.

MiniMax's fundraising rhythm is perfectly timed, and capital is really starting to abandon the idea of US dominance... However, with the intense competition in domestic AI, could this be another bubble?

Wow, MiniMax's valuation is really impressive. No wonder capital is so envious. Is domestic AI about to turn the tide? This wave definitely feels a bit different. By the way, can OpenAI still sit comfortably? The competition is so fierce now. MiniMax, go for it and show the Americans our technology. If this IPO succeeds, the follow-up projects that jump on the bandwagon might explode. It seems that the US dollar isn't as popular anymore... Global capital is all looking for the next big trend.

minimax this round of pricing is really clever, it seems that capital is truly starting to believe in domestic AI --- Haha, finally someone dares to stand up to OpenAI, the investors are really optimistic --- Honestly, the era of American dominance might be coming to an end, the flow of money to non-US tech is inevitable --- Setting high IPO prices is all smoke and mirrors; the key is whether AI products can truly be implemented, not just fundraising stories --- Domestic AI companies rushing to go public and raise funds, the competition in this track is intense, how many more ways to survive are there --- How long can the enthusiasm of capital last? We'll know once the funding environment cools next year --- minimax entering the Hong Kong listing with a high price bump has a bit of a Silicon Valley dream feel, but can it really replicate OpenAI's path? Difficult --- The global reallocation of capital should have happened already, but the premise is having revolutionary products; just raising money is useless --- Another domestic AI funding frenzy, how long can this wave of heat last? Worth watching
