GigaAI
GigaAI (Jijia Vision, 极佳视界) is a Beijing physical-AI company founded in 2023 by Huang Guan, a Tsinghua University PhD. It focuses on world models, AI systems that learn to represent and predict how people and objects move, and describes itself as China's first startup built around world-model research for physical AI. Its stack includes the GigaWorld world-model platform and the GigaBrain end-to-end embodied model, and it also builds robot bodies to run them. In November 2025 it unveiled the Maker H01, a wheeled dual-arm humanoid positioned as a native platform for physical AGI, and it has since shown a biped (Maker L01) and a home robot (SeeLight S1). Huawei's Hubble fund led an early round, and between March and June 2026 GigaAI raised about 3.5 billion yuan across Pre-B, B1 and B2 rounds. In July 2026 Bloomberg reported that it was preparing a Hong Kong IPO at a valuation of about $3 billion. Clients include FAW, JD.com and China's postal operator EMS.
💡Notable Achievement: Raised about 3.5 billion yuan between March and June 2026 and was reported in July 2026 to be preparing a Hong Kong IPO.
