Taichi Graphics
太极图形
Taichi Graphics (太极图形) is a Chinese startup building open-source graphics infrastructure and a cloud-native 3D digital content creation platform. It was founded by CEO Hu Yuanming (胡渊鸣), a PhD, and CTO Kuang Ye (匡冶), and raised a $50 million Series A in February 2022 led by Source Code Capital, with GGV Capital and BAI Capital co-leading and Sequoia China adding to its earlier seed investment .
The company's origins trace to Taichi, a parallel programming language for high-performance computing embedded in Python that Hu's team developed in academia. Taichi automatically generates cross-platform CPU/GPU code and has been adopted by researchers at over a hundred universities worldwide for computer graphics and AI applications . From late 2020, the team began industrial partnerships, with Taichi-based fluid effects deployed in multiple short-video apps .
Building on the language, Taichi Graphics developed Taitopia (太极开物), which it describes as the world's first cloud-native 3D digital content creation platform—aiming to let ordinary users create and share digital worlds directly in browsers . At the time of its Series A, the company was roughly 10 months old and planned to expand hiring across R&D, product, commercialization, and design .
