Measured statements
In development Written by fixed rules from this reading’s stored figures. No model writes them.
On Reddit, 224 distinct people posted about MiniMax between 2 and 8 March 2026: 317 posts, an estimated 0.11% of that week's Reddit posts about AI, leaving out templated automated posts (100.0% of these posts had an identifiable author).
Reddit · 2–8 Mar 2026 · author coverage 100.0% · 7 days: 7 backfilled · 1 partial, 2 late heavy
6 more statements withheld. No posts about MiniMax on Hacker News between 2 and 8 March 2026. arXiv posts are articles, which have no authors, so people aren’t counted. Withheld for platforms not counted this week: Bluesky, YouTube, Google News and Exa.
What this reading rests on
| Platform | Days counted | How the posts were collected |
|---|---|---|
| 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive1 day partial, 2 days late heavy | |
| Hacker News | 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive |
| arXiv | 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive |
Not counted: Bluesky, YouTube, Google News and Exa, not being collected yet.
A day counts once it has settled: once the posts still expected for it are below the threshold, or, for posts loaded afterwards from an archive, once they’re loaded. Coverage day by day is in this reading’s conditions. How coverage is recorded.
This reading was made with methods that are still being validated. Every figure says which state it’s in.

How many people posted about MiniMax on each platform, and MiniMax’s share of that platform’s posts. One row per platform, each on its own terms.

Not counted this week. Bluesky, YouTube, Google News and Exa have no day in this window that counts, so they have no figures here.
Hacker News. People hidden: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
arXiv. People not applicable: arXiv posts are articles, which have no authors, so people aren’t counted. Share and posts hidden: n 1 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.

Posts published 2–8 Mar 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. People count distinct platform identities and are never added across platforms. Share is MiniMax’s posts over all posts AIDRAN captured on that platform in the window. Reddit’s posts include its comments. A normal share is miniMax's share of each platform's posts in the 9 earlier stored weeks of the same era (2026-W01, 2026-W02, 2026-W03, 2026-W04, 2026-W05, 2026-W06, 2026-W07, 2026-W08, 2026-W09), per platform.

Every W10 point is coverage-limited; a dashed ring marks an earlier point that is. Why a week is hidden or ringed is in the notes on stored weeks at the foot of this page.

Posts about MiniMax by community, 2–8 Mar 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 19:30Z; in development. Each platform is drawn on its own scale. The word after each community is its type: who is there, not what it’s about (users are people who use one AI product; builders build with AI). A post counts once, in the community it was posted in.
Change
Compared with the previous reading of MiniMax, for 23 Feb – 1 Mar 2026.

Change compares this reading with the previous stored reading of the same subject, usually last week’s, and both endpoints stay visible with their dates. Each value carries its n; open it for its full conditions, coverage included. Stored weeks, above, cross eras, which marks a change in how weeks were captured: March era weeks were rebuilt from archives, with live capture from 7 Mar to 31 May, Archive backfill weeks were backfilled from archives (Reddit, Hacker News and arXiv only) and September era weeks were captured live from 16 Sep and filled in from archives.
