Tian Keyu's startup raises nearly $30M to build visual-vocabulary video AI
AITian Keyu's unnamed startup has raised nearly $30M from 5Y Capital and IDG at a $200M post-money valuation, according to Bloomberg. The NeurIPS 2024 award-winning researcher's 10-person team is developing a 200,000-symbol visual vocabulary to help AI process video. Tian claims the approach could cut video-generation costs at least tenfold, with a full model release planned for 2027 and no product yet.
