Hefei-headquartered HiDream.ai, a multimodal generative AI startup, aims to become a leading company in Chinese-developed generative AI models. 

The company established its headquarters in the Hefei National High-tech Industry Development Zone in September last year, and made waves this April when its open-source image generation model topped the board of Artificial Analysis' arena rankings just 24 hours after release, marking the first time a Chinese-developed generative AI model has claimed the top spot in image generation.

The technology enables high-precision generation from text to image and video and integrates the world's first conversational interactive editing model. Through natural language commands, users can achieve a closed-loop workflow of generation and real-time modification, lowering barriers to professional content creation.

HiDream's applications are rapidly expanding. A globally renowned AI design tool recently integrated the model, allowing users to produce professional visuals through streamlined generation and editing in just three steps.

As a multimodal AI innovator rooted in the Hefei National High-tech Industry Development Zone, HiDream leverages Hefei's strengths in new quality productive forces to advance both R&D and commercialization. Company executives said HiDream will intensify its focus on multimodal generative AI, building upon secure and reliable governance frameworks, with the goal of becoming China's leading generative AI modal developer and propel domestic AI technology to global prominence.
