What happened
MiniMax announced on September 17 that three of its products — MiniMax Agent, Hailuo AI and MiniMax Audio — have been included in an AI skills training program launched by Singapore's Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA).
The program offers multiple AI courses and provides eligible trainees with a free six-month subscription to advanced AI tools. The products are included through Singtel AI Pass, with MiniMax serving as a partner in the initiative.
Why it matters
The inclusion gives MiniMax a channel to reach learners in Singapore's workforce development ecosystem, potentially expanding its user base through a government-backed training scheme.
It also signals that Singapore's skills agency is incorporating third-party AI tools into its curriculum, which could shape how workers gain hands-on experience with generative AI products.
