Wujie Matrix Secures 10 Million Yuan in Angel Financing
Yangzhou Wujie Matrix Technology Co., Ltd. has announced the completion of an angel round financing exceeding 10 million yuan, with a post-investment valuation surpassing 1 billion yuan. The funding was provided by Lihe Financial. Founded in 2024, Wujie Matrix is an emerging player in the artificial intelligence sector, focusing on the development of an "AI Mentor" that integrates multimodal technology, efficient reasoning, reliability, and emotional interaction. The aim is to equip students with technological skills while also addressing their emotional needs.
Leadership and Vision
The company is led by Dr. Cui Sen, a distinguished alumnus of Tsinghua University. Dr. Cui studied under the mentorship of Academician Zheng Quanshui from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His doctoral research revolved around reliable artificial intelligence and large models. Dr. Cui expressed his belief that AI technology will become an essential tool for individuals and organizations to tackle future challenges. He emphasized the team’s ambition to make AI a fundamental thinking tool that is widely accessible.
Product Development
Wujie Matrix is currently developing its first product, which is expected to launch in mid-2025. Dr. Cui noted that the effective application of large AI models involves integrating multiple technologies rather than relying solely on a single model. Their retrogressive retrieval-enhanced generation technology combines real-time retrieval and reasoning, significantly improving retrieval efficiency and accuracy. This innovation aims to overcome traditional retrieval limitations, achieving millisecond-level response times.
Team Experience
Despite its recent establishment, Wujie Matrix boasts a team with extensive experience in AI innovation dating back to 2016. Team members have expertise in multimodal, meta-learning, and efficient reasoning for large models, having accumulated substantial industry experience. All core team members hold Ph.D. degrees from Tsinghua University in AI-related fields, bringing years of research experience in areas such as reliable AI, large models, intelligent agents, and emotional computing.
Evolving Education Landscape
Dr. Cui highlighted a significant shift in the education model, noting that traditional exam-oriented methods are increasingly inadequate for talent development. The importance of technology education is on the rise. According to forecasts from iResearch Consulting and Duojing Education, the domestic technology education market is projected to grow nearly 20% over the next five years, potentially reaching a scale of 100 billion yuan.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Wujie Matrix plans to enhance its investment in technological research and development. The team will continue to monitor cutting-edge large model technologies and expedite the functional optimization of the AI Mentor product. Additionally, they aim to explore a wider range of application scenarios and create a diversified application ecosystem by partnering with other organizations.
