CreateAI: Formerly TuSimple, Now Pioneering Generative AI in Entertainment
CreateAI's Bold New Chapter
On December 18, 2024, TuSimple Holdings Inc. officially announced its rebranding to CreateAI, a shift designed to reflect its renewed focus on leveraging artificial intelligence for revolutionary changes in the animation and video game sectors.

This decision to make Ruyi open source stems from CreateAI's commitment to empowering creators and nurturing an active user community. The technological expertise gained from the company's heritage in autonomous vehicle technology has directly influenced Ruyi's design, proving that AI can bridge various creative fields seamlessly.
