首先是持续扩大的亏损窟窿。尽管MiniMax号称" 已盈利 "，但招股书数据显示，2022年至2025年前三季度，公司累计亏损高达13.2亿美元，2025年前三季 度净亏损更是达到5.12亿美元，超过了此前三年的亏损总和。公司预计2025年全年净亏损还将显著增加，每月现金消耗接近2.8亿美元。这种" 高增长、高 亏损 "的模式难以持续，仅靠现有资金储备无法支撑长期研发投入，上市成为补充弹药的必然选择。更值得警惕的是，公司毛利率虽从2024年的12.2%提 升至2025年前三季度的23.3%，但仍远低于行业平均水平，盈利质量堪忧。 其次是融资环境的变化倒逼。MiniMax四年内完成7轮融资，累计募资15.5亿美元，背后有阿里、腾讯、高瓴等资本巨头加持。但AI行业的融资热潮已逐 渐退去，" 百模大战 "早已演变为少数玩家的持久战，投资者对未盈利AI公司的耐心正在耗尽。此时上市既能为早期投资者提供退出渠道，也能借助资本 市场的背书获取后续发展资金。从估值来看，Pre-B++轮融资后公司估值超42亿美元，若能成功上市，有望进一步推高估值，缓解后续融资压力。 MiniMax的自我定位是" 全球化的通用人工智能（AGI） ...
