Why it matters
MiniMax and Together AI are making a production-cost case for open-weight models. Buyers still have to account for routing, reliability, licensing and infrastructure before lower token prices translate into a smaller bill.

MiniMax, founded by Yan Junjie, and Together AI, co-founded by Vipul Ved Prakash (@vipulved), will put their shared argument for cheaper, open-weight AI in front of London engineers on September 16th.
