Wu Haixu launches world-model startup Wuyuan Technology at a $600 million valuation after three funding rounds

A new startup has emerged in the world-model field, led by Wu Haixu, the 2022 recipient of Tsinghua University’s Special Scholarship. According to QbitAI, Wu has quietly started a company called Wuyuan Technology this year. The company has completed three funding rounds so far and reached a valuation of $600 million, with investors including Ant Group, Meituan, Fortune Capital and Xinglian. People close to the company said the startup is entering the market through world models with physical modeling capabilities, and that its technical direction, to some extent, continues the research path behind GeoPT. The paper, published in February with Wu as first author, drew wide attention for introducing a new pretraining paradigm that lifts static geometry into dynamic space through Synthetic Dynamics, allowing models to build physical intuition by learning particle trajectory evolution from unlabeled data. Wu’s academic background spans Tsinghua University, Harvard University and MIT CSAIL. His prior work includes Autoformer, which the original report described as a milestone model in long-sequence time-series forecasting, as well as Corrformer, Neural-Solver-Library and FlashBias. His Google Scholar citation count currently stands at 29,611.
