MiniMax founder: The opportunity of AI office will be bigger than programming.

On March 2nd, during a phone call following the financial report, MiniMax founder Yan Junjie talked about industry development opportunities, stating that in the next year, the penetration rate and growth rate of the AI industry will be faster than expected, and the sources of growth will be more diverse. Yan Junjie believes that there is still a high development ceiling in the field of programming, which will usher in intelligent levels from L4 to L5. Currently, AI has performed well at the level of programming assistance tools, but this year, AI applications in the programming field will move towards colleague-level collaboration, and even reach the intelligent level of innovative discoveries and complex organizational coordination. In addition, the development speed of office scenarios will be very fast, which is a field with a larger market space than the programming market. Yan Junjie believes that the number of people who need programming skills in the workplace is relatively limited, while most white-collar workers will be involved in office scenarios, indicating that this larger market is just beginning.
