During the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC2026), MiniMax showcased its flagship model MiniMaxM3, multimodal models, and AI-native products, with its new-generation multimodal generative model H3 receiving early promotion ahead of the event. Through ecosystem collaboration cases such as robotic dogs, AI glasses, smart earbuds, Network-Attached Storage (NAS), financial services, and film and television content, MiniMax demonstrated the development and practical implementation of AI spanning from foundational models and agent products to real-world applications. The exhibition covered multiple dimensions including model capabilities, academic research, product tools, multimodal creation, and industry applications. Attendees gained insights into M3’s performance in long-context processing, coding, and agentic tasks, experienced the practical applications of multimodal models in creative workflows, smart hardware, and industry services, and learned about MiniMax’s progress in open-source ecosystems, industrial collaboration, and globalization.

Rising star US stock researcher KawzInvests (@KawzInvests) posted that Kimi K3 is an open-source model with 2.8 trillion parameters. Moonshot’s own evaluation shows it lags only behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol. The full weights will be released on July 27. Such a large model cannot run on ordinary users’ laptops or even a single server. Therefore, if such open-source models gain popularity, cloud hosting platforms will be the beneficiaries. KawzInvests cited DigitalOcean (DOCN) as an example, noting that the company already supports hosted operations for Kimi K2.6. Beyond DOCN mentioned by KawzInvests, cloud service providers including Amazon, Microsoft, NBIS, RIEN, etc., may generally align with this investment logic.
