Beijing Luchen Technology

Beijing Luchen Technology Co., Ltd., operating as Luchen Technology, is a high-tech enterprise focused on advancing Artificial Intelligence productivity. Founded in July 2021 by CEO Yang You, the company is headquartered in Haidian, Beijing. The core technical team comprises talent from globally recognized universities, including UC Berkeley, Stanford, Tsinghua University, and Peking University.

The company's strategic vision is to "unleash AI productivity" by specializing in the research, development, and application of large AI models. Luchen Technology provides AI model development services, leveraging high-performance computing to accelerate the entire lifecycle of large models. Its primary offering is Colossal-AI, a deep learning system designed for the big model era. This platform enables significant acceleration in model training, fine-tuning, and inference, reportedly reducing costs and increasing model capacity. The company has also developed and open-sourced its video large model, Open-Sora, which along with Colossal-AI, has achieved high rankings on GitHub. A key component of their business model is Luchen Cloud (潞晨云), a platform that offers GPU rental services for AI computations, providing elastic and stable computing power to clients.

Since its inception, Luchen Technology has demonstrated strong investor appeal, securing four rounds of financing within two years. Its first funding occurred on September 1, 2022, with a Seed round from Zhen Fund and Chuangxin Innovation Works (Sinovation Ventures), and an Angel round from Lanchi Venture Capital (BlueRun Ventures). This was followed by a Series A round in May 2023, which raised hundreds of millions of RMB, and a subsequent Series A++ round. In total, the company has raised at least $6 million. The company's business scope includes technical services, development, and consulting. While one source mentions a specialization in telecommunication and energy technology, the overwhelming evidence points to a core focus on AI infrastructure and large model development.
