Apparently the domain is shadowbanned (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=minimax.io) which is why people kept submitting it (and normally they cannot be vouched), and presumably a moderator gave this one their blessing.
The solution is for @dang to unshadowban it because Minimax is now a newsworthy company.

They were a newsworthy company when their domain got shadowbanned, too... The spam detector is blind to such things.

it could be the state of HN and not result of shadowban, that some newsworthy link has to be submitted 8 times to go through.

Amazing haha. Why is it so quiet around hy3/hy4? Or Tripo? Or agitbot or z.ai? All incredibly capable

Friendly reminder: Submissions without discussion aren't considered dupes on HN.

Oh, really? I didn't know this. Sorry.
Then maybe they can be merged once one gains a comment?

Sometimes it will automatically redirect to an already submitted one, but the system is not perfect and you might end up with duplicates like this.

There is literally no reason to merge them if they have zero discussion. Submissions to HN are not a finite resource.
