00:01Hi, everyone. In this video, I'm going to do a demo of Minimax, specifically chat.minimax.io.

00:09And Minimax is yet another chatbot, but it's very powerful, and it's kind of like DeepSeq.

00:16It's Chinese, and they have open source models and open source code.

00:22And it's very interesting, and I'm going to do a demo of chat.minimax.io for this video.

00:28And very quickly here, if you go to chat.minimax.io, you might see something like this, and you have the option to sign in.

00:38And as of right now, you have to sign in with a Google account.

00:42It doesn't give you any other options.

00:44And then once you're logged in, you'll see likely a blank screen like this with a search box you can ask.

00:54And then quickly, this is the Minimax website.

00:57And to go to the chat, you just click on Start Chat, and it will redirect you to chat.minimax.io.

01:03And quickly about the company.

01:06It's based in Shanghai, and it's been dubbed one of China's AI Tiger companies.

01:11And so far, I've been very impressed.

01:14Okay, so the first thing I asked it was, a thing I like to ask AI chatbots is to ask about the current world news.

01:23I like to check the quality of AI output because it allows them to check current news, so they'll do a web search.

01:33And this did a web search, and I think it used the most powerful model they had.

01:41And basically, if you ever use DeepSeq or something like O3 or O4 in ChatGPT, you'll often see output like this.

01:52And then it'll show you the summary of, this is, you know, it's thinking, and this is the actual output.

01:58So this is some current world news.

02:01So it's talking about Gaza, Iran, U.S. politics, European affairs, and other global developments.

02:16And a huge wedding that happened recently as Jeff Bezos got married in, I believe he got married in Italy.

02:24And, yeah, so that's been in the news.

02:29So this is quite interesting.

02:32So I gave the current world news.

02:35And now what I want to do is ask it a question that I ask it of many, I ask of many different, give me a second here.

02:46Okay, so I'm going to ask it a question about, let's say, I'm going to ask it about, describe the process of photosynthesis in plants.

02:58This is a question that is complicated, but simple at the same time.

03:05And a lot of AI models probably would have been tested on this, or trained on this, I'm sorry, would have been trained on this.

03:13And I want to see the output.

03:14So, and notice, I'm not selecting the think option because that uses the most powerful model, but it's actually a little bit slow.

03:24I want to see how fast it is to get that.

03:27And also, this can search on the web, but it says specifically if you wanted to be creative, you should not select this.

03:37So let's click on this.

03:39Describe the process of photosynthesis on plants.

03:42Photosynthesis is a complex biochemical process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy stored in glucose.

04:03This process primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, which contain the pigment chlorophyll that capture light energy.

04:12So I think that's a great answer, and then it talks about NADPH, and it gives the chemical formula for photosynthesis, which takes carbon dioxide and water and light energy and converts, this is glucose, and oxygen.

04:34So I think that's a great answer.

04:36So I think that's a great answer.

04:38Now, let's see if we can copy it.

04:40So what I want to do is click on copy.

04:42So click on copy the output.

04:44And this is similar to what you might see in ChatGPT or Google Gemini.

04:53So this outputted as markdown code, and that's great.

04:59And if you want to copy this into a document, for example, what you can do is copy this into a site called markdown to HTML, and then you can paste the markdown text there, and then you can copy the HTML output here.

05:15And this was what I copied earlier from the news, and now this is going to copy the output.

05:24So photosynthesis is a complex biochemical process, okay?

05:29I think it gives great output, and then it talks about this is a formula for the synthesis.

05:36Again, it's carbon dioxide plus water plus light energy gives you glucose and oxygen.

05:44So I think that's the way it gives markdown code I think is very good.

05:51And now let's ask it one question about, this is something I tested in an AI model recently, and I'd like to know the answer.

06:06Write a poem inspired by the changing seasons.

06:09I'd be very interested to see how it gives the answer.

06:12So write a poem inspired by the changing seasons, and I'd be interested to see how it is.

06:18Certainly, here's a poem inspired by the changing seasons.

06:21In spring, the world awakens soft and new, with gentle breezes carrying sense of bloom.

06:31Okay, so that's a pretty long poem.

06:34Okay, so it's very good, and note that it's aligned well, so it's left aligned, and it's got these spaces.

06:46I'm not an expert in poetry, but I know this at least looks like a typical poem.

06:52And notice we've got, let's see here, huh.

06:58Oftentimes, in many poems, the last words will rhyme, but it doesn't really look like maroon, moon, day told.

07:09Yeah, so there's not much rhyming going on here.

07:13But I think the top looks good.

07:15In spring, the world awakens soft and new, with gentle breezes carrying sense of bloom.

07:23The earth, a canvas brushed with vibrant hues, unfurls her petals, banishing winter's gloom.

07:32So, although there's not much rhyming going on here, I think this is an excellent poem.

07:37Although, because I'm not an expert in poetry, I can't really say how much better it is compared to others, but I think this is great.

07:46And that's a complicated question, I think.

07:50Asking it to write a poem, I mean, that's high-level literature, and I think this is excellent.

08:00And again, I'll put it like that, and...

08:09So, as I mentioned, I think this poem is great.

08:12And let's ask it one more question.

08:16Let's see here.

08:18So, this is a question I often ask.

08:20Discuss the impact of AI on job automation.

08:24Or, I can modify it to say, in jobs in general.

08:32I'm curious to know what it thinks how, basically, AI will affect jobs in general.

08:39Will so many people lose their jobs?

08:41I'd like to know what it thinks about this.

08:45So, it's a complex and multifaceted issue.

08:48That's true.

08:50So, automation of routine tasks impact on low-skilled jobs.

08:55So, automation has tended to affect low-skilled jobs more significantly.

09:00However, even some mid-level and high-level skilled jobs are at risk of automation.

09:04So, it can now perform medical diagnostics, financial analysis, and even some creative writing.

09:11And then it says here, basically, re-skill and AIP skills.

09:17So, workers will need to acquire new skills.

09:19And also soft skills like critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence.

09:30Interesting.

09:31And I'd also think of creative, critical thinking, I'd also think of this as a, I don't know if this would be considered sort of a hard skill.

09:45But, yeah, soft skill is fine.

09:50Lifelong.

09:51So, basically, I like this.

09:52So, basically, lifelong learning and re-skilling and up-skilling.

09:56That's a great way to keep yourself relevant in the world of, in the age of AI.

10:05So, I think this is an excellent answer.

10:07And, again, let's just see what it looks like.

10:09You copy it here.

10:10And then, if you wanted to, you can convert this to HTML and put it in document.

10:15I think that's a great answer.

10:17Okay, now let's ask it some, another interesting answer.

10:21Let's say, I want to start an online business.

10:26How can I start one and make money relatively quickly with low investment costs and run it 100% online?

10:42And this one here, I'd like to ask it to think deeply.

10:45And, let's say, I'll have it search as well.

10:48And, I don't, let's say, one more, I don't want any scams.

10:54I want only legitimate, and, let's say, only legitimate income.

11:06So, there's a lot of scams online.

11:08But, let's see if it's able to know how to do this with, basically, legitimate income.

11:15So, this is, I had to do this thing.

11:20So, this is kind of like, if you use DeepSeq R1 model or the, some of the better models in ChatTPT, it'll, it'll have output like that.

11:34And then, now this is going to give you the actual output.

11:37So, validate your idea.

11:40That's a great answer.

11:41So, this is kind of like, if you learn about MVPs or minimum viable product.

11:46It'll almost always talk about validating your idea.

11:51Okay, so, low cost, high demand niches.

11:56Digital services, printables, online tutoring or coaching.

12:00Affiliate marketing, content creation.

12:02And then, we've got different platforms for freelancing.

12:10Digital products, Etsy, teachable, print-on-demand.

12:16You've got t-shirts, mugs, and more.

12:19Affiliate marketing.

12:20And, you can build a website or have some social media presence.

12:28And then, you can do some teaching or coaching.

12:32And, use some free tools to minimize costs.

12:37So, this is true, wordpress.com.

12:40And, even the wordpress.org is the actual code.

12:43And, you can put the code on your own website.

12:46Although, that does require some technical skills.

12:49But, not that.

12:50And, I'll, hopefully in the future, make more videos about wordpress.

12:54We've got Shopify.

12:56And, yeah.

12:58So, I think this is an excellent answer.

13:00Reinvest your profits.

13:03And, then, avoid the red flags.

13:08So, avoid MLM or pyramid schemes.

13:12And, I like that it knows about red flags.

13:15So, it must have been trained on that.

13:19And, some legitimate income.

13:21Legitimate online businesses.

13:23So, you've got freelance writing or design.

13:25Printables on Etsy.

13:27Affiliate marketing via a niche blog.

13:30Print-on-demand t-shirts.

13:32Online tutoring.

13:35And, I like that it gives a timeline.

13:40So, it talks about different months.

13:44And, I think this is a great answer.

13:47And, this is what the output looks like.

13:50Which, I think is great.

13:51Okay.

13:52And, finally.

13:53Before this video is over.

13:54I wanted to mention that Minimax is on Hugging Chat.

13:57You can find them on the Hugging Face website.

14:00The Hugging Face website.

14:01And, if you wanted to search for their models.

14:04It can go here.

14:05And, I sorted by the most downloads.

14:08And, we've got this one here.

14:11Has 456 billion parameters.

14:13And, that's a huge amount.

14:14And, looked at it.

14:15This is comparing to GBT 4.0.

14:17It claims it has very similar accuracy.

14:20Or, even better than many.

14:22So, this is compared to GBT 4.0.

14:24Cloud 3.5.

14:25Gemini 2.0.

14:26And, so on.

14:27So, one of its models has very great accuracy.

14:32According to them.

14:33And, they also have a GitHub page.

14:35And, you can see the code for some of their models.

14:38And, I think it's excellent.

14:40So, I hope you enjoyed this video.

14:43This video was about Minimax.

14:45Specifically, chat.minimax.io.
