Chinese AI startup MiniMax Group has surged to a $45 billion market cap in just two months since listing, surpassing Baidu despite generating 239x less revenue. The stock rocketed 640% driven by the OpenClaw agent framework craze after MiniMax launched MaxClaw, its AI agent built on the platform Jensen Huang called "the most important software release probably ever." With a price-to-sales ratio of 618x versus OpenAI's 18x, this signals markets are betting aggressively on AI agents as the next platform shift. The extreme valuation gap between $79M revenue and $45B market cap reflects pure future growth speculation, creating both massive opportunity and substantial risk as Chinese tech giants race to build on the OpenClaw ecosystem.
