From 3D generation to world models, this AI company wants to define problems together with young people

What happened: VAST (三启万物) released a new V·STAR top talent program inviting young researchers to work on three research tasks: 3D generation foundation models, 3D understanding and agents, and world models. Key numbers: About 5 billion yuan raised in under half a year. Tripo P2.0 launched in August. Why it matters: The program offers pay and long term options beyond traditional campus recruitment tiers, and the company says selected researchers can lead projects from scratch with data, compute and collaboration support.
