LiblibAI, an AI application company invested in by INCE Capital, announced the closing of a $130 million Series B financing recently. INCE Capital continued to invest in this round.
In 2025, as AI applications accelerate their explosive growth, this marks the largest funding round to date in China's domestic capital markets for the AI application sector. This financing also signals that AI investment focus is shifting from foundational models to the application layer. As large language models increasingly become the domain of a few leading players, capital is refocusing on AI platforms that can genuinely deploy multimodal capabilities across creative, production, and consumer scenarios.
LiblibAI was founded in 2023 during the explosive growth phase of open-source visual creation. It has since evolved into China's largest multimodal model and creative community. The platform integrates image, video, 3D, and LoRA training. It covers the entire AI workflow from inspiration generation and visual design to dynamic video production, having nurtured over 20 million AI creators across professional visual scenarios including illustration, photography, e-commerce, poster design, and IP creation.
Against the backdrop of increasingly convergent AI foundational models, LiblibAI stands out through its strategic approach of “tool integration + community ecosystem.” The platform not only aggregates globally leading open-source and proprietary video and image generation models but also fosters a unique co-creation ecosystem among models, scenarios, and creators through lightweight model training and creator incentive mechanisms.
In October 2025, LiblibAI launched its 2.0 version, elevating its “aggregated tools” into a “professional AI creative studio.” This upgrade enhances video generation capabilities, supports multi-model generation and professional-grade special effects templates, and delivers an end-to-end experience from inspiration to finished video—setting a new standard for AI video production.
This round of financing was jointly led by Sequoia Capital China, CMC Capital, and a strategic investor. Existing shareholders Shunwei Capital, Source Code Capital, Future Capital, and INCE Capital all continued to invest in this round. Foresight Capital continued to serve as the exclusive financial advisor for this round. Following the funding completion, LiblibAI will accelerate its global expansion to build a multi-modal content ecosystem for global creators to collaborate. As a technology company dedicated to empowering creation, LiblibAI is seeking more talented individuals to join the team and collectively witness the future of the creative industry in the AI era.
