Tripo AI raised approximately $200 million in Series A+ and A++ rounds on June 9, 2026. The company also announced Project Eden, a world model research concept for persistent, editable, multiplayer virtual worlds. Funds will expand research, accelerate algorithm development, and support global expansion.
Tripo AI announced on June 9 that it raised approximately $200 million across Series A+ and A++ rounds. The company will use the funds to expand its research team, accelerate core algorithm development, strengthen data infrastructure, and support global expansion.
Alongside the funding, Tripo AI introduced Project Eden, a world model research concept. Unlike traditional video generation AI that predicts the next frame, Project Eden continuously updates a virtual environment in response to user actions, AI behavior, and the passage of time. Key features include persistence of world state after viewpoint changes or disconnection, editability that reflects changes for all participants, and multiplayer support for multiple humans and AI agents simultaneously.
Tripo AI expects Project Eden to serve as a content creation engine for games and a simulation platform for embodied AI research such as robotics. The company also released Tripo H3.1 for high-precision 3D shape generation and Tripo P1.0 for production-level meshes in March 2026, and added 8K AI texture generation and automatic part segmentation to Tripo Studio.
