# Tripo AI

> Tripo AI, built by the startup VAST, is a generative-AI platform that turns text prompts and images into production-ready 3D models in seconds. Its Tripo Studio app and REST API cover the full 3D pipeline - generation, texturing, rigging, retopology, segmentation and stylization - and are used by more than 6.5 million creators and roughly 90,000 developers. Founded in 2023 by former MiniMax co-founder Simon Song, the company is pushing from single 3D assets toward interactive, persistent 'world models' and has raised close to $400 million from backers including Alibaba and Baidu Ventures.

- **Founded:** 2023
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Simon Song (Founder & CEO), Guoli Su (Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~30-100+ employees (San Francisco, plus Beijing and Hangzhou)
- **Products:** Tripo Studio, Tripo API / Developer Platform, Tripo H3.1 & P1.0 models, Project Eden (world models), Open-source ecosystem
- **Notable:** Grew to more than 6.5 million creators and ~90,000 developers within a few years of launch, Nearly 100 million 3D assets generated on the platform, Raised close to $400M total, including a ~$200M Series A+/A++ in June 2026

## Products & services

- **Tripo Studio** — A browser-based 3D workspace that generates models from text, images or multiview inputs and handles segmenting, texturing, auto-rigging, retopology and stylization. The 3.0 algorithm made 3D generation 'product ready'.
- **Tripo API / Developer Platform** — A REST API for text-to-3D, image-to-3D and multiview-to-3D generation plus re-texturing, format conversion (USD, FBX, OBJ, STL) and part segmentation - used by roughly 90,000 developers.
- **Tripo H3.1 & P1.0 models** — High-precision geometry generation (H3.1) and production-ready mesh generation within seconds (P1.0), with native 8K AI textures and Intelligent Part Segmentation V2.
- **Project Eden (world models)** — A research program for persistent, reusable, multiplayer interactive 3D environments using a three-layer architecture separating world state from visual rendering.
- **Open-source ecosystem** — Community releases including TripoSG, TripoSplat, AniGen, SkinTokens and LegoACE covering dynamic content, animation and physical modeling.
