Chinese AI video startup AIsphere raised USD300 million in Series C funding, achieving unicorn status with over 100 million users and USD40 million annual recurring revenue. The Beijing-based company launched PixVerse R1 in January, a real-time world model enabling interactive 1080P video generation that responds instantly to user input, positioning it as a potential AI-native video game engine. This funding round, which tripled from initial targets due to strong investor demand, signals investor confidence in revenue-generating AI video startups and the shift from static clip generation to continuous interactive video environments for gaming and entertainment. The global AI video market is projected to reach USD3.35 billion by 2034.
