China-founded Tripo AI updates 3D content creation platform as users more than double
‘This shows that we’re on the right track,’ founder and CEO Simon Song Yachen says
A pioneer in large-scale, general-purpose 3D models, Tripo AI’s user base has more than doubled to 6.5 million from 3 million in August, company founder and CEO Simon Song Yachen told the South China Morning Post in a recent interview.
After the launch of its product’s beta version on May 30, Tripo Studio’s monthly income “grew 2.5 times within a month and fivefold within three months”, Song said. “This shows that we’re on the right track.”
“I used to think that – from text to images, then to video and finally to 3D – represented a process of information carriers that ascended to higher dimensions,” Song said. “But now I tend to believe that 3D is the most natural and primal format, as the world was presented in 3D until language was invented to preserve and send information in a compressed and abstract way.”
That assessment underscored Tripo AI’s outlook and ambition, as the company planned to launch more features for Tripo Studio 1.0.
