Qianxun Intelligence Secures $2.8B Funding as CATL, JD.com and Giants Bet on Humanoid Robots

On February 24, Qianxun Intelligence, an embodied intelligence company founded just one year ago, announced it has secured nearly RMB 2 billion in two recent funding rounds. The investor lineup includes top-tier institutions such as Sequoia China, Yunfeng Fund, and Chaos Investment (led by Ge Weidong), alongside industry giants like CATL, TCL, JD.com, Huawei, and Xiaomi. The new capital will be used to accelerate the development of embodied foundation models and real-world data infrastructure. Qianxun Intelligence has developed its proprietary Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model and a humanoid robot named Moz1, which features 26 degrees of freedom and high-power-density force-controlled joints, achieving a payload-to-weight ratio of 1:1. Its open-source model, Spirit v1.5, outperforms Pi0.5 and supports zero-shot generalization for complex tasks. Currently, the "Xiao Mo" robot is stably operating on CATL’s production lines, contributing to zero-defect battery mass production, while the "Mozi" robot is deployed in JD.com stores, handling product demonstrations and explanations. The company and JD.com are jointly exploring deeper applications of large models in retail scenarios.
