Zhipu vs MiniMax: what’s driving the widening valuation gap in Hong Kong

China's AI startup wars just got a brutal reality check: Zhipu and MiniMax, two of the country's most hyped large language model makers, are now valued billions of dollars apart despite building nearly identical products, raising uncomfortable questions about whether investors are pricing in geopolitical risk or simply making wildly different bets on survival. The valuation chasm—driven by divergent fundraising rounds and strategic pivots—is becoming a proxy for how the market views China's ability to compete globally against OpenAI as U.S. export controls tighten and domestic competition intensifies. What happens next in Hong Kong's AI funding race could reshape which Chinese AI companies live to challenge Silicon Valley.
