Just got $200 million and another 1 billion RMB, major game companies are heavily betting on the 3D world model VAST.

According to Dongcha Beating monitoring, the AI 3D generation company VAST (Sanqi Wanwu) has completed an A3 strategic round of financing exceeding 1 billion yuan, jointly invested by Geely Capital, 4399, Tangu Games, Giant Network, and others. This is only one month after its previous round of funding of nearly $200 million.

The dense entry of strategic industry capital reflects clear business needs. Game companies such as 4399 and Giant Network are interested in VAST’s 3D asset rapid generation capability—for example, it can cut the time for creating high-precision texture maps from several days to 2 minutes, directly helping game projects save money. Industrial giants such as Geely, meanwhile, need VAST’s 3D world model Project Eden—currently under development—for autonomous driving and robot training, to generate virtual simulation spaces at low cost with consistent physical laws and multi-user interaction.
