Shengshu Technology

生数科技

Shengshu Technology (生数科技) is a Beijing-born multimodal AI company founded in March 2023, built by a team that proposed the U-ViT architecture in September 2022 — three months ahead of OpenAI's DiT, per Qiming Venture Partners, which backed its 600M+ RMB A+ round announced in February 2026 . Its flagship is Vidu, a text-to-video model unveiled at the April 2024 Zhongguancun Forum as China's first full rival to Sora, which pioneered "reference-to-video" generation for multi-subject consistency and has since iterated through Q1–Q3 releases , an image-editing feature that placed top-four on Artificial Analysis's global leaderboard — the only startup there, ahead of OpenAI's GPT-5 — and API services like AI livestream gift effects at under 1 RMB per generation . The company's current framing is broader than video: at WAIC 2026 it presented itself as a "general world model" company, pairing Vidu (including the real-time interactive Vidu S1) with Motubrain, a "world action model" meant to drive robots in the physical world . Not everyone buys the grand narrative — a satirical piece from 葬AI in June 2026 poked fun at Vidu's generation quality and its cost-cutting pivot to B2B clients, while noting its neck-and-neck race with PixVerse . The entity card also lists Ant Group and BV Baidu Ventures as backers .
