Recently, X-ORIGIN-AI (Xuan Yuan Technology), a consumer-grade AI robotics company, announced the completion of a nearly 100 million RMB Pre-A round of financing. This round was led by Oriental Fortune Capital, with follow-on investments from Golden Ding Capital and Lenovo Star, and Renchen Capital acting as the financial advisor. This financing accelerates X-ORIGIN-AI's layout in AI hardware and emotional interaction, showcasing its breakthroughs in the development of "emotional" AI products.
X-ORIGIN-AI is committed to breaking the limitations of traditional AI tools and upgrading human-computer interaction from "tool-oriented" to "emotion-oriented." Focusing on the "full life cycle" needs of children, adults, and the elderly, the company is building a smart companion ecosystem driven by personalized AI models, aiming to provide everyone with a digital partner that "understands them best." Its products include AI robots and AI-embedded plush toys, achieving more natural and fluid emotional interaction through the deep integration of large model technology.
Founder Li Yunzhou emphasized that X-ORIGIN-AI doesn't just add large language models to traditional hardware; instead, it redefines hardware from the bottom up. The company's "dynamic memory system" and "multimodal emotional synergy" technologies enable the hardware to understand human language, perceive emotions, understand contexts, and optimize the interaction experience through AI models.
X-ORIGIN-AI has completed two years of technical architecture construction and plans to launch several differentiated products in 2025. Li Yunzhou believes that interactive hardware will play a significant role in the development from AI to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), and embodied data ecosystems will drive AGI breakthroughs.
Following this round of financing, X-ORIGIN-AI will further enhance its technological depth, particularly the resolution and emotional interaction effects of on-device AI multimodal models, and accelerate its global expansion by entering the US and European markets through the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform and cross-border e-commerce channels. Furthermore, X-ORIGIN-AI will also open its AI operating system interface to build an integrated "hardware + content + service" ecosystem.
