MiniMax: Scaling Intelligence for Everyone | Linda Sheng | RAISE Summit 2026

Linda Sheng, Luca Schmid

Minimax has transitioned into a global public leader by deploying its M3 multimodal model, which offers a million-token context window and natively processes text, video, and images across diverse data types. As enterprises advance through AI readiness generations, the company drives token consumption growth while advising founders to establish rapid evaluation benchmarks and leveraging twenty internal AI agents to streamline operations. Looking forward, Minimax predicts narrow-sense AGI in three years, anticipating immediate disruption in finance and legal sectors before healthcare, as organizations diversify models to mitigate vendor lock-in and adopt "co-work" workflows.
