LiberAI reportedly raised over RMB 1 billion in six rounds
36Kr, citing China VC, reports that physical-world-model startup LiberAI completed six funding rounds in under a year, raising more than RMB 1 billion and reaching a valuation in the billions of renminbi. Founded in December 2025, the company was established by Tsinghua doctoral student Liu Songming and developed the RDT-1B and RDT-2 embodied-AI models. The report also describes a broader funding wave involving Tsinghua-linked post-2000 founders, including those associated with LatentVerse, OriginFlow and Zero-Fang Robotics.
The report presents LiberAI as the focal company in a broader funding wave centered on young Tsinghua-affiliated founders working in embodied AI, physical-world models and related fields.
这则融资的主角是 LiberAI(北京将闲科技有限公司) ,一家成立于2025年12月的“物理世界模型”公司。红杉中国在2026年3月进入天使轮后,在短短数月内连续追加了四轮,完成了对同一家公司“从天使轮起四连投”的罕见节奏。
同期连续加码的还有真格基金,从种子轮起累计连投三轮,顺为资本从天使+轮首次出手后迅速升任Pre-A轮领投方。多家一线机构在极短时间内密集押注同一标的,足见热度。
这家公司的创始人叫刘松铭,是清华计算机系一名00后在读博士,曾获清华大学特等奖学金(每年仅10人),并多年保持年级第一。他的导师是视频生成模型领域学者朱军教授,研究方向覆盖人工智能、具身智能与世界模型,在ICML、NeurIPS等顶会发表过多篇一作论文。
刘松铭无疑是当下VC追逐“小天才”中最顶配的画像。这也不是近期孤例。2026年,一批清华出身的00后正排队宣布融资:胡钰承的LatentVerse、秦深涛的OriginFlow、闵宇恒零次方机器人、唐健凯的微面科技、王陈玉珩的汇光创新、薛传奕的奇点逃逸等等。
