MiniMax Comments on Anthropic's Ban of OpenClaw: Closed Ecosystem Will Stifle AI Creativity

MiniMax recently issued an official statement regarding Anthropic's ban on OpenClaw. It stated that the MiniMax Token plan was designed from the start to support cross-third-party platform use, and AI application ideas mostly come from developers outside the lab. Restricting AI subscribers to one's own products will stifle these ideas before they are born.

Anthropic's ban essentially延续 the closed ecosystem logic of traditional internet, trying to build a moat by controlling users and resources. MiniMax advocates an open-protocol ecosystem, and the success of its M2.5 model on OpenRouter reflects the open market's recognition of interoperable resources. This conflict between closure and openness will shape the future of the AI ecosystem.
