MiniMax launched its first official flagship store on Tmall ahead of the 2026 Double 11, offering M Plan subscriptions including Go, Explore, and Build tiers. This move aligns with a broader trend of AI manufacturers like Zhipu, Kimi, and DeepSeek entering e-commerce platforms to distribute model services. By lowering usage thresholds and providing direct purchasing channels, these companies are expanding their reach to personal users and exploring new commercialization paths for large language models in the mass consumer market.

Amazon is in talks to acquire Decart for 7 billion dollars. The three-year-old startup, founded in 2023, offers cross-chip compatibility software that allows AI models to run seamlessly across different hardware like NVIDIA GPUs, Google TPUs, and Amazon Trainium. This technology aims to reduce costs and improve performance by up to eight times. Decart previously failed to secure deals with NVIDIA and Anthropic, both of whom left the table after due diligence. Amazon is paying a significant premium compared to Decart's recent 4 billion dollar valuation, aiming to strengthen its AWS ecosystem and lower per-token costs for its Trainium chips while supporting its broader cloud and embodied intelligence strategies.

OpenAI is reviving Sora by licensing its technology to a new AI video startup via equity partnership. The venture, co-founded by ex-Sora leader Bill Peebles and DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, will gain deep model customization access in exchange for equity. This strategy shifts Sora from a consumer product to a B-end solution for Hollywood and professional film production, leveraging existing assets without impacting OpenAI's core focus on ChatGPT and enterprise AI after the technology was previously shut down due to high costs.
