Minimax, a new Chinese Free AI Generator, has been launched and is generating significant interest. The text-to-video model, backed by major investors such as Alibaba Group and Tencent, offers users the ability to create realistic videos from text prompts. Currently available for free, Minimax allows users to generate high-definition videos up to five seconds long. The platform is being compared to other AI video tools like Sora. Users have reported impressive results, particularly in rendering human motion, although some suggest that the examples provided may be selectively chosen. The AI film 'Magic Coin' is one of the notable projects created using Minimax, with 8 mind-blowing examples available.
