Yuanxiang Technology, also known as XVERSE, was established in Shenzhen in early 2021 and operates as a service company specializing in AI and 3D technologies. The company's core mission is to develop a comprehensive, one-stop platform for the creation and consumption of 3D content, driven by artificial intelligence.
The founder, Yao Xing, is a former vice president at Tencent, where he founded and led both the Tencent AI Lab and the Robotics X Lab. His vision for Yuanxiang is rooted in the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a goal that informs the company's dual focus on both metaverse applications and large-scale AI models. The founding team includes co-founder肖志立 (Xiao Zhili). The company has secured over $200 million in funding from prominent investors including Tencent, Gaorong Capital, 5Y Capital, Hillhouse Capital, Sequoia China, and Temasek.
Yuanxiang Technology provides a range of services by combining its expertise in AI, cloud rendering, and video technologies to create immersive digital experiences. The company has developed its own "end-cloud collaboration" 3D interactive technology, which allows for high-quality 3D experiences without significant barriers to access. In the AI field, Yuanxiang has made significant contributions by open-sourcing large-scale language models, such as the XVERSE-65B, to promote the development and application of AI in various industries. The company has also developed what was, at the time of its release, China's largest open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model. The business model involves providing these advanced technologies and services to a diverse client base that spans entertainment, cultural tourism, marketing, and finance. Notable clients and partners include Tencent Music (for the TMELAND platform), CCTV, Adidas, Postal Savings Bank of China, and the Macau Grand Lisboa Palace.
The company's product offerings include multi-modal digital human solutions for applications like virtual IPs, interactive chat companions, and digital tour guides. They have also launched an AI-powered interactive story app named Saylo, which gained significant popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan. By focusing on both foundational AI research and practical 3D applications, Yuanxiang aims to bridge the gap between the digital and real worlds, enabling industries to undergo a 3D transformation.
