Founded in February 2024, Spirit AI builds vision-language-action foundation models that power general-purpose humanoid robots. Its in-house model drives Moz1, a 26-degree-of-freedom, force-controlled robot already deployed on CATL’s Zhongzhou battery assembly line and in JD.com retail stores for customer interaction and product demonstrations. The company has also open-sourced Spirit v1.5, designed for strong zero-shot task generalization across complex manipulation scenarios. By partnering with manufacturing, logistics and consumer-electronics leaders such as CATL, JD.com, Huawei, Xiaomi and TCL, Spirit AI gains large-scale real-world data to refine its models and accelerate commercial rollout. The latest financing pegs its valuation at roughly ¥10 billion ($1.4 billion), underscoring investor confidence in its embodied AI stack. Although still in early commercialization, the company is rapidly scaling its data pipelines and industrial ecosystem to support broader deployment of humanoid systems.
