From SenseTime veterans to AI industry leaders, we're building the future of human-AI voice interaction.
MiniMax was founded in December 2021 by a team of visionary AI experts from SenseTime, one of the world's leading artificial intelligence companies. Our founders recognized the transformative potential of multimodal AI systems and set out to build foundational technology that would revolutionize human-machine interaction.
With deep expertise in computer vision and natural language processing, our team has been at the forefront of AI innovation. We believe that the future of human-computer interaction lies in seamless, natural voice communication that transcends language barriers and captures the full spectrum of human emotion.
