On September 17, Singapore's SkillsFuture launched an all-age AI literacy initiative with over 200 certified courses and six-month free premium-tool subscriptions for local learners. MiniMax's MiniMax Agent, Hailuo AI and MiniMax Audio were certified via the Singtel AI Pass as official designated AI tools—a landmark case of a Chinese AI product gaining policy-backed inclusion in a national program.
The move is a key step in Singapore's push to build whole-population AI capability and a notable template for Chinese AI going global with official endorsement. MiniMax's H3 open-weight video model has also seen rapid open-source community adoption, with collaborators including NVIDIA and Alibaba PAI releasing optimization tools.
Industry observers said embedding domestic AI products into a sovereign nation's core skills curriculum signals a shift from pure commercial export to standards-and-ecosystem export.
