Tashi Zhihang raises $455.0 million in a Pre-A round, with Sequoia China and Hillhouse jointly leading

4.55亿美金重注一颗「大脑」！红杉高瓴罕见联手

Tashi Zhihang said on April 16 it closed a $455.0 million Pre-A round led by Sequoia China, Hillhouse Ventures, and Meituan, which the post says set China records for embodied AI single-round and Pre-A financing. The post also says its AWE3.0 four-modal model lifted unseen-view task success by 3x and cut execution jitter by about 45%, and that its A1 robot set a Guinness record in sub-millimeter wire-harness assembly within one hour. What matters is whether model, data, and deployment keep reproducing; the post does not disclose valuation or deal terms.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the round size and investor mix are compelling, and the post includes concrete model and robot metrics. I keep it at 83, not P1, because key facts remain company-supplied; valuation, deal terms, and third-party validation are not disclosed.
