At the recently concluded first Open Day of ZhiXiang Future, this unicorn company at the forefront of AI vision multimodal technology had a "highlight moment." The company officially launched HiDream-O1-Image-Pro, an image large model built on the next-generation native multimodal architecture "Unified Transformer (UiT)."

This large model has over 200 billion parameters and achieves deep unification of image pixels, text tokens, and task conditions. It reaches the industry's top level (SOTA) in key tasks such as general text-to-image generation, high-fidelity text rendering, and image editing. The release of HiDream-O1-Image-Pro marks that ZhiXiang Future has officially entered the "native multimodal" modeling phase, which means achieving integration of multimodal information including images, videos, texts, and audio through a unified underlying architecture, taking a crucial step toward building a "physical world model."

The enthusiasm of the capital market confirms the strategic value of this technology. ZhiXiang Future also announced the completion of another round of financing worth hundreds of millions. The list of investors is impressive, including well-known institutions such as Shenzhen Investment & Development Corporation, Jinpu Investment, CaiXin Capital, and Fufu Capital. Notably, this is the second financing completed by ZhiXiang Future within just half a month (previously, it had completed a financing of over 500 million yuan in mid-April).

Since its establishment in 2023, ZhiXiang Future has rapidly risen with the "model + application" dual-driven approach. The company has now built a clear "1+1+3" business matrix:

1 foundation: The HiDream series of underlying large models.

1 platform: HiHarness enterprise service platform, providing standardized model capabilities output.

3 intelligent application scenarios: Covering commercial marketing (HiBurst, a Top 5 TikTok official service provider), film and television creation ("Zhenzan," having produced over 5,000 minutes of short animated dramas), and social media creation (vivago, with a user base exceeding 40 million).

During this Open Day, ZhiXiang Future also reached strategic cooperation agreements with several industry giants, including Shanghai Film New Horizon Fund, Blue Sky Marketing, Jiecheng Century, and Beier Health, aiming to deeply inject leading model capabilities into high-frequency essential scenarios such as film, marketing, and healthcare. With continuous iteration of the underlying architecture and expansion of the financing portfolio, this top technical team led by Dr. Mei Tao, an academician of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, is accelerating in building a technological moat for China in the global generative AI competition.
