- Smart electric yacht startup MIRAVA raises nearly RMB 50M angel round
MIRAVA, a Chinese maker of smart electric consumer boats, has raised close to RMB 50 million in an angel round led by Jiuhe Venture Capital, with Chuxin Capital and Eversnow participating; the funds are earmarked for core technology R&D, mass-production line construction, first customer deliveries and a localized European channel and service network. According to the company, its first 8-meter smart electric yacht, the M800E, was unveiled for Europe at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026, is slated for boot Düsseldorf in January 2027, and the first founder-edition units are due for delivery in mid-next year, with production already moving into small-batch delivery. MIRAVA says the M800E uses a smart wristband as a positioning beacon for scenario-based autonomous follow-me operation and adds a detachable rear sub-boat module, positioning the product for casual "water players" rather than traditional boating enthusiasts.
36氪 人工智能 · 🔥 3 - Analysis: AI's academic roots, concentration and going global
A column by Yan Deli of Tencent Research Institute, republished by Cyzone, traces AI's history: the 1943 M-P neuron paper, the 1950 Turing test and the 1955 Dartmouth proposal that named the field, which together answered how to express intelligence in computation, how to evaluate it and how to create a new discipline. The piece argues academia and industry are deeply intertwined—AlexNet (2012) and Transformer (2017) as the key papers behind deep learning and today's large language models, and OpenAI's 2020 scaling-law paper as the guide for model development—with AI firms following a chip-talent-model-paper loop. It cites third-party figures for high concentration: Stanford's AI Index Report 2026 counting 59 notable AI models from the US and 35 from China; The Information finding Anthropic and OpenAI together took 89% of annualized revenue across 34 leading generative-AI startups; and 1,112 generative AI services filed in China as of Aug. 31, with Beijing at 26.8%. It also says Chinese AI firms internationalized early, citing Manus, MiniMax and Kuaishou's Kling as overseas-revenue focused.
创业邦 科技 · 🔥 0 - SenseTime powers Shanghai's first quantum-city government agents
The Yunyu Xingkong large model, built jointly by SenseTime's SenseCore infrastructure unit and the Shanghai Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, has been upgraded to strengthen professional spatial reasoning and complex task execution, and is said to hold 13,000 high-quality question-answer pairs and 1.5 billion tokens of corpus. Based on it, the bureau released the first batch of government agents for its "quantum city" program, three of which — Yuzhi Heluo, Dalu Zhiyan and Xianggui Xiaogongdan — were developed and delivered by SenseTime for flood-control scheduling, spatial insight and planning-update work. SenseTime says the agents improved spatial computing, dynamic simulation and scheduling efficiency by 65%, 70% and 80% respectively, figures that come from the vendor without third-party verification.
量子位（原生 RSS） · 🔥 0 - Barron's China, TMTPost name 30 Chinese industry pioneers, AI firms included
Barron's China and TMTPost published a 30-company "Value Industry Benchmark" list of Chinese industry pioneers, grouped into seven segments: physical AI and robotics, AI models and infrastructure, AI applications, new consumer, fintech, healthcare, and services and environmental protection. The piece says the common thread is "industry-defining power" in a given niche, and profiles AI-related names including DeepSeek, SenseTime, Kling AI, MetaX, Unitree Robotics, Momenta, DJI, Dreame Technology and XREAL with claims about market share, revenue, shipments or listing plans. It also cites government holiday consumption data and September PMI figures, saying embodied-AI robot sales rose about 130% and smart-glasses sales about 100% year over year during the holiday, as evidence that capital is shifting from property and old infrastructure toward high-tech manufacturing.
钛媒体 · 🔥 0 - Ex-SenseTime VP's startup Firmior AI raises over $10M for private enterprise agents
Firmior AI, a Chinese enterprise-agent platform company founded only three months ago, said it has closed seed and angel rounds totaling more than $10 million, with the angel round co-led by Jinqiu Fund and the Hong Kong High-Talent Startup Investment Fund, while seed investors joined as individuals from several industries and serve as strategic advisors. Based in Shenzhen's Qianhai and Hong Kong, it was founded and is led by CEO Leo Liu, a former first vice president and commercialization head at SenseTime who also held roles at SAP, Oracle and Microsoft and served as CEO of GitLab's China joint venture. The company is building a full-stack, private-deployment enterprise agent platform spanning an inference server layer (FEAS), a middle layer called Firmior OS for enterprise memory, knowledge, workflows and governance, and three applications: Firmior Code, Firmior Work and Firmior Expert. Firmior AI says its first enterprise customer bought the full platform in its first quarter and expanded the purchase after one month of use, with daily agent token calls up fivefold within two months and a 92.5% 30-day active rate — figures the company attributes to that single customer.
钛媒体 · 🔥 0 - AI short dramas consume 55% of China's tokens as video models cash in
A TMTPost article citing data disclosed by Chinese Online says AI short dramas and video generation account for 55% of China's token consumption, versus 24% for e-commerce and marketing and 15% for software development; it says one minute of 1080p video costs roughly 3–3.6 million tokens, and a 120-minute AI live-action short drama carries about 30,000–40,000 yuan in model-side compute cost, around half of total cost. The piece reports Kling AI's Q1 2026 revenue at more than 650 million yuan, up over 300% year on year, with an annualized run rate near US$500 million and API revenue rising to 60% of the mix from 30% a year earlier; MiniMax raised its valuation sharply but posted about 2.4 billion yuan in first-half losses, and SenseTime's main business remained loss-making at 386 million yuan excluding special gains. It also notes rising costs — about 17–19 yuan per episode in March versus 80–100 yuan in May, Alibaba Cloud and Baidu AI Cloud compute price increases of up to 34%, and an industry hit rate of just 0.47%. The revenue, valuation and market-size figures are as relayed by the article and were not independently verified.

ModCraft, a platform for AI-assisted game mod creation and distribution, has completed a seed round of tens of millions of RMB, with investors including SenseTime Guoxiang Capital and L2F, and will use the funds mainly for AI model training and platform growth. The platform offers two services: letting users create game mods through natural language, and discovering, playing and sharing mods made by others; it currently lists 28 well-known Steam titles, including The Scroll of Taiwu, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and PEAK. Founder Li Shuo, a game-industry veteran, describes mods as an interface between games and the world outside them, and the team says it is already working with model makers such as ByteDance to train models on mod creation, feedback and gameplay data.
