MiniMax, Developer of World-Class Video and Audio Generative AI, Confirmed to Speak – Unveiling the Forefront of Gaming x AI at Data→AI Meetup 2026

ThinkingData Co., Ltd. announces that MiniMax, a global AI company, has been confirmed to hold a session at the "Data→AI Meetup 2026" to be held on Friday, April 17, 2026.

MiniMax is an AI company used by over 236 million users and more than 210,000 companies in over 200 countries and regions. Because it operates multiple products globally, such as Hailuo AI and Talkie, MiniMax is able to discuss the reality of AI that functions in the field, rather than just "AI as a theory." In this session, its developers will directly share the capabilities of their latest models and implementation examples.

Three Themes to be Discussed

1. Hailuo, Voice, and Music – The Latest Achievements of MiniMax's Generative AI Suite The latest quality of the globally acclaimed video generation model "Hailuo," the accuracy of the Japanese-compatible voice generation model, and the latest demo of the music generation model will be unveiled in a live demonstration. Please see for yourself the "astonishing" level of generation quality.

2. Implementation in Games, Anime, and Video – Practical AI Utilization, Not Just a Pipe Dream This session will explain how multimodal AI is actually integrated into game development, anime production, and video content, with specific case studies. The application in the gaming sector, in particular, is attracting significant attention, and attendees can hear real-world examples ranging from reducing production costs to expanding creative possibilities.

3. OpenClaw × MiniMax M2.7 – A Coding Revolution in the Age of AI Agents

This session will explain the possibilities in the coding agent domain by combining OpenClaw, which is currently attracting the most attention, with MiniMax's latest model M2.7. It will delve into how the construction of a "true AI agent team," where AIs collaborate to perform tasks, will bring about changes in game development.

Reasons to Attend This Session

Discussions about generative AI are already abundant. However, opportunities for developers to directly discuss "what is actually being used worldwide" are rare. MiniMax has developed a full-stack multimodal AI covering video, audio, music, and text generation in-house, and has already built a track record in the global market. The forefront of that engineering will be discussed in Tokyo on April 17.

The "Data→AI Meetup 2026" will be held for professionals in the gaming, app, and entertainment industries, with free admission and a capacity of 250 people, requiring pre-registration. Additional speaker sessions are expected to be announced. Registration will close once the capacity is reached.
