On April 10, 2026, Shengshu Technology heralded the successful closure of its Series B funding round, amassing close to 2 billion yuan. This funding initiative was primarily led by Alibaba Cloud, with significant strategic contributions from the China Internet Investment Fund, Jiu'an Haitang, among other investors, and further supported by existing shareholders. Shengshu Technology aims to harness the power of video and real-world scenarios to pioneer a 'world model' that transcends the capabilities of text-based chatbots. By constructing a versatile model that bridges the digital and physical realms, and leveraging multimodal data, the company seeks to achieve a more precise simulation of reality. Notably, Alibaba had previously extended its investment to a similar venture, Tripo AI, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to innovation in this field.
