MiniMax founder Yan Junjie: In the future, AI will become more widespread, and AGI will surely be achieved.

At the main forum of the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Yan Junjie, founder and CEO of MiniMax, stated that in the future, AI will have multiple contenders. On one hand, models will have their own characteristics, and on the other hand, AI will increasingly be Multi-Agent, with multiple models and tools. In addition, over the past year, more and more open-source models have been gaining influence and approaching the capabilities of the best closed-source models. Yan Junjie mentioned, "In the future, AI will become more universal. Due to the fact that the size of models is directly proportional to the speed of chip calculations, the cost of training a single model is almost fixed, while the cost of inference continues to decrease. In the next one or two years, the cost of inference for the best models is expected to decrease by another order of magnitude. Tokens will become cheaper, but the quantity of tokens will increase significantly, leading to a growing demand for computing power." Yan Junjie believes that AGI will definitely be realized and will serve the masses.
