Shengshu Technology Secures $500 Million in Funding, Setting Record for Largest Single Investment in China's General World Model Sector

According to monitoring by Beating Insights, Shengshu Technology recently completed a new round of $500 million financing, setting a record for the largest single investment in China's general world model sector. The funds from this round will be used for model development and technological innovation. Founded in March 2023, Shengshu Technology has already established foundational models in three major areas: multimodal generation, real-time interaction, and physical-world actions. In the fields of multimodal generation and real-time interaction, the Vidu Q series video generation models have deeply penetrated professional content production systems such as comics, short dramas, advertisements, e-commerce, animation, and film/TV. The recently released real-time interaction model Vidu S1 enables real-time voice-controlled video generation, supporting unlimited duration generation in real-time, achieving 540P resolution and 25FPS, with a maximum frame rate of 42FPS. It also supports customizable character images and voice tones, delivering efficient inference on consumer-grade GPUs. In the area of physical-world actions, Shengshu Technology open-sourced the world's first unified world model for "perception, prediction, and action" called Motus in December 2025. In April 2026, it launched the robot control model Motubrain, which achieved a 95.8% average success rate on the embodied intelligence benchmark RoboTwin 2.0, setting a new SOTA record. Shengshu Technology continues to make strides in developing a general brain for embodied intelligent robots. [Original Link]
