MiniMax raises Alibaba Cloud spending ceiling to $1.2 billion

Chinese AI startup MiniMax has dramatically escalated its cloud infrastructure bet, raising its spending commitment with Alibaba to $1.2 billion—a striking vote of confidence in both its own technology and China's ability to compete globally in large language models despite mounting Western restrictions. The deal underscores how Beijing's tech champions are racing to build homegrown AI alternatives before stricter export controls on chips and computing power can stop them. It also signals that Chinese startups, locked out of Nvidia's premium chips, are willing to double down on domestic cloud providers to close the capability gap with OpenAI and other U.S. leaders.
