Kai-Fu Lee's AI Company ZeroOne Everything Completes New Financing Round

TapTechNews August 7th news, 36Kr intelligent emergence news, the AI large model unicorn company ZeroOne Everything founded by Kai-Fu Lee has completed a new round of financing, with an amount reaching several hundred million US dollars. Insiders said that the participants in this round of financing include an international strategic investor, Southeast Asian consortium and other institutions.

It is reported that recently many AI senior talents responsible for technology and product pipelines from Google, Microsoft and other companies have joined ZeroOne Everything.

According to TapTechNews' previous report, ZeroOne Everything was established in May 2023, and the former head of Baidu's metaverse, Ma Jie, serves as the vice president, and the core team members are from Google, Microsoft, IBM, Baidu and other companies.

Last year, ZeroOne Everything launched the AI office tool PopAi overseas. According to the official data, since the launch of PopAi for 9 months, the ROI (return on investment) of the product is close to 1, and the number of users is nearly 10 million. In 2024, ZeroOne Everything launched the first closed-source model Yi-Large. In May this year, ZeroOne Everything launched the productivity tool Wanzhi in China.

In the face of the successive price reductions of domestic large models, Kai-Fu Lee previously said that technology is the most important. If the technology is not good, it is not feasible to simply rely on subsidizing and losing money to do business. ZeroOne Everything will not benchmark such (market) pricing. If the Chinese market is so intense that everyone would rather lose everything and lose altogether than let you win, then we will go to the foreign market.
