ShengShu Technology Secures Over RMB 600 Million in Series A+ Funding to Advance Multimodal AI Innovations
Singapore, February 5, 2026 — ShengShu Technology, a pioneering leader in multimodal generative AI, has successfully closed a Series A+ funding round exceeding RMB 600 million. This major investment round was co-led by Zhongguancun Science City and LINK-X CAPITAL and featured strategic contributions from Wondershare, Visual China Group Co., Ltd., and TRS. Existing investors, including Qiming Venture Partners, Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund, G&O, C&D Emerging Industry Equity Investment, and Guowen Hechuang, also increased their stakes, underlining strong confidence in ShengShu’s technological and commercial vision.
Driving Innovation with Multimodal Foundation Models
Founded as one of the earliest global teams to delve into multimodal generative algorithms, ShengShu Technology has continually pushed the envelope in AI research and application development. The company introduced the groundbreaking U-ViT architecture as early as September 2022. Building on this, ShengShu launched Vidu in July 2024 – a revolutionary platform featuring the industry’s first Reference-to-Video capability. This advancement enables enhanced multi-entity consistency in video generation, a longstanding challenge in commercial content production.
Since its initial release, ShengShu has rapidly iterated the Vidu series with versions Q1, Q2, and most recently Q3. Each update has delivered significant improvements in critical performance aspects such as semantic understanding, motion dynamics, video stability, inference speed, and overall consistency. Of particular note, Vidu Q3 is the world’s first video model explicitly designed for storytelling. It supports 16-second synchronized audio-video generation at native 1080p resolution, advanced cinematic language, precise shot transitions, multilingual text input, and multi-language output capabilities.
According to the latest AI benchmarking results from Artificial Analysis, Vidu Q3 is ranked No. 1 in China and second globally, outperforming several prominent international video generation platforms. Additionally, Vidu Q2 is recognized as the fastest commercial-grade content generation model worldwide. ShengShu’s commitment to efficiency is further evidenced by their open-sourced TurboDiffusion framework released in December 2025, which accelerates the creation of 5-second videos to a remarkable 1.9 seconds using a single RTX 5090 GPU—improving generation speed by 100 to 200 times.
Expanding Global Commercial Reach
The funding will fuel ShengShu’s expanding ecosystem, which encompasses Vidu MaaS (Model as a Service), Vidu SaaS (Software as a Service), Vidu App, and Vidu Agent offerings, catering to content creators and industry clients across over 200 countries and regions. In 2025 alone, the company reported more than tenfold growth in both user base and revenue.
Vidu’s influence spans multiple industries. In the film and entertainment sector, the platform collaborates with over 90% of key players, including Tencent Animation & Comics, China Literature, CCTV Animation, iQIYI, Jiangxi Film Group, Mango TV, Soy Sauce Animation, and JuriLu Animation. Its advanced video generation capabilities enhance production for animation, short dramas, and feature films alike.
The technology’s adoption extends to internet and smart hardware leaders such as ByteDance, Samsung, Wondershare, TAL Education Group, Alipay, and HONOR. Here, Vidu supports content production, marketing campaign creation, and innovative interactive product development.
In advertising, Vidu serves as a preferred solution for top brands and agencies including JD.com, Alibaba 1688, Amazon, Meituan, Focus Media, BlueFocus, L’Oréal, and Anta, facilitating large-scale, reliable AI-driven video production. The gaming industry also benefits from Vidu’s deployment for game advertising and scene generation through partnerships with Lilith Games, 37 Interactive Entertainment, SeaArt, and Tanwan Games, boosting content creation efficiency and immersive experiences.
Internationally, Vidu’s footprint continues to grow with clientele such as Pollo AI, PhotoGrid, OpenArt, Hubx, Fal.ai, Eachlabs, Freepik, and GensPark, serving diverse sectors like creative tools, commercial media production, education, broadcasting, and cultural tourism.
Vision for the Future of AI and Content Production
