The embodied AI enterprise, Tashi AI, has successfully closed a significant Pre-A round of financing, raising a substantial $455 million. This round was co-led by prominent investment firms Hillhouse Capital and Sequoia China, with additional participation from a diverse array of financial funds. Notably, existing shareholders continued their support with further investments, and industrial investors also joined the funding round. This achievement stands as the largest single financing event in the embodied AI sector since 2026.

The capital raised in this round will be strategically allocated to advance the development of Tashi AI's general-purpose embodied large model, AWE, and to attract top-tier talent to the team. Looking ahead, the company has outlined plans for its next funding round, which will focus on scaling up robot mass production.

Founded in 2024 by the visionary duo Chen Yilun and Li Zhenyu, Tashi AI boasts a highly esteemed founding team that has garnered significant favor from the investment community. The company has already secured multiple rounds of financing, underscoring its strong market position and potential. One of Tashi AI's notable achievements is the independent development of the SenseHub wearable embodied data collection system, a cutting-edge technology that enhances data acquisition and analysis.

In March of the current year, Chen Yilun unveiled the AWE3.0 technical architecture, marking a milestone with three key technological innovations. These innovations not only demonstrate Tashi AI's commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI technology but also position the company as a leader in the field. Furthermore, on March 10, 2026, Tashi AI achieved a historic feat by setting the first Guinness World Record in the realm of industrial precision operations. The company's CEO proudly announced that Tashi AI has made significant technological breakthroughs and achieved notable progress across multiple areas, solidifying its position as a trailblazer in the embodied AI industry.
