"Most users are going to have a relationship with the agent, so we're going to give them best in class and best in price."
@ysiu told @techinasia how we deliver on both ⬇️
Minds pools 50+ AI models, leaning on open-source large language models like @MiniMax_AI's M3 for 90 to 95% of frontier capability at a fraction of the cost. M3 now carries most of the workload, bringing @animocabrands’ compute cost down roughly 20x and cost per user to cents on the dollar.
The same economics power our Bazaar, where 5,000+ Skills are built without a highly technical setup.
The first builder covers the token cost, everyone after pays a fraction, and the creator earns a cut.

The click is disappearing, and some websites already report traffic down by 80%.
When AI agents handle browsing and discovery, the click-through model that funds a US$900 billion advertising economy stops working. On @FINTECHTVglobal, our executive chairman and co-founder @ysiu explained to @Johnyonthefloor that what replaces is a micro transaction on blockchain, where agents like @hellominds_ pay for content on your behalf and act in your interest rather than the platform's.

⚡️ Signal Zero | Creators Built the Internet. So Why Don't They Own It?
You did the work, built the audience, made the content. But the platform still owns the relationship and takes the cut – 99% of creators earn almost nothing.
What if there were a different model? One where creators actually own what they make. 💰
Join us live as we explore this topic on Tuesday September 8th at 12pm UTC - with GAMEE Co-Founder Bozena Rezab (@anestetica) and special guest Robby Yung (@viewfromhk), CEO of @TheSandboxGame, and CEO of Investments at @animocabrands.

Congratulations to decentralized educational protocol @opencampus_xyz, @pencilfinance_, and @HackQuest_ for successfully completing the first fully on-chain student lending cycle with zero defaults! The possibilities with technological innovations are endless. DeFi is living proof of that.
Financial systems have always decided who is visible, and that decision was never about capability. Reputation is important, and subsequently, digital identity matters now more than ever. Reputation should be portable. A lender, a school, a student, should all be able to carry their own record rather than to borrow authority from someone else.
That is what @pencilfinance_, which we co-incubated with @opencampus_xyz and @HackQuest_, have now demonstrated at scale, and this is only the beginning.

What happens when the money starts moving itself?
Our CEO of investments @viewfromhk is heading to Barcelona for @EBlockchainCon to join the panel "AIFI: How Robot Money is Rewriting Payments and Capital Markets."
The discussion will sit at the intersection of two shifts we are watching closely at Animoca Brands: the emergence of autonomous AI agents as economic actors, and the maturing of on-chain infrastructure that gives them a native way to transact.
Together, they point toward a payments and capital markets landscape where machines are not simply executing instructions, but participating in the system itself.

We’ve come a long way in Web3. At the moment, we’re actively building AI agents that would benefit the overall ecosystem.
@TechInAsia's leading story today features @ysiu and the story of @hellominds_, our AI agent platform, which represents the next innovation layer that we at @animocabrands are dedicated to building.
Pooling 50+ AI models and hosting thousands of skills in its bazaar, Minds has also embedded digital wallets directly, because agents need payment rails that traditional infrastructure typically doesn't provide. As Yat puts it, "You don't have real agency if you don't have money.”

Web2 built platforms that captured value, while Web3 is building infrastructure that distributes it.
