TensorWorld, a physics-native foundation model startup founded by researcher Haixu Wu, exited stealth with a $105M seed round from Cathay Capital, HSG, Ant Group, MSA Capital, Meituan, IDG Capital, CDH VGC, Link-X Capital, Fortune Capital and NIO Capital. Its thesis: physical AI needs models that faithfully understand, simulate and interact with the physical world — whether a grasp slips depends on weight, grip force and friction — making fidelity to physical reality an intrinsic property of the model itself, targeting robotics, engineering and science.
