10,000x Faster Computing, InSpark Tech Unlocks the Optimal Path to Fusion Energy

Beijing Shunyuan Technology Co., Ltd. completed its seed - round financing in June 2026, raising tens of millions of RMB. The investors include Loongson Venture Capital, the Lotus Angel Fund of Zhejiang University Alumni, and the Zhongguancun Social Security Fund (managed by Legend Capital). The funds from this financing will be used for the engineering implementation of core algorithms and product refinement, accelerating the commercial layout of the FusionAlpha fusion plasma simulation platform.

Company Introduction

Shunyuan Technology was founded in April 2026. It is a hard - tech enterprise focused on providing a numerical foundation for the fusion industry and optimizing route plans. Its flagship product is the AI + fusion plasma physics fast and high - fidelity simulation platform, FusionAlpha. The core business is to offer a full - stack fusion reactor simulation foundation for the fusion field, supporting the entire R & D process from conceptual design, route optimization, plan verification to operation monitoring. Relying on the nearly 20 - year technical accumulation of its core team, the company has built a unique algorithm system that combines physical drive with AI acceleration, achieving the integration of full three - dimensional high - fidelity physical modeling, super - computing scale coverage, and second - level calculation speed for the first time. Currently, the open - source algorithm modules of the company have almost a 100% penetration rate among domestic main engine manufacturers and research institutions in the nuclear fusion R & D field, and more than 50 institutions globally are using the company's core code.

Core Technology Breaks Through Industry Bottlenecks

Currently, the commercial R & D of controllable nuclear fusion is in an acceleration phase. The traditional R & D model has core pain points that are difficult to overcome: the R & D investment in a single experimental reactor globally generally exceeds $2 billion, the cost of a single experiment is tens of thousands, and the trial - and - error cost is rising exponentially; the full cycle of single - design, construction, and verification lasts 3 - 5 years, and the optimization of core parameters requires several years of iteration, seriously delaying the commercialization progress; more than 60% of large - scale fusion devices globally have not reached their design goals, the return period for huge investments exceeds 30 years, and the investment risk is uncontrollable. The fusion simulation research codes developed by existing research institutions are generally caught in the "impossible triangle" of speed, accuracy, and threshold. Traditional open - source tools either lack accuracy or have extremely slow calculation speeds, and overseas commercial tools have a steep learning curve, making it difficult for non - professional developers to use them efficiently. There is a gap in key infrastructure across the industry. Moreover, simplified models or AI surrogate models based on data - driven methods are difficult to meet the requirements of physical extrapolation. In terms of market size, according to historical data, the average annual fusion budget in the United States is about $700 million, of which theoretical simulation accounts for about $65 million, approximately 10%.

The FusionAlpha platform independently developed by Shunyuan Technology uses physical constraints and a mathematical order - reduction framework, combined with technologies such as AI workflows. On the premise of ensuring physical fidelity and arbitrary extrapolation calculation, it has achieved a ten - thousand - fold increase in calculation speed, with a measured error of no more than 5%. It can complete reactor - level simulations on a single machine or a small - scale cluster, reducing the verification cost from billions to thousands of RMB and compressing the R & D cycle from 3 - 5 years to 3 - 7 working days, successfully breaking through industry bottlenecks and showing significant differential advantages. It will fill the missing digital reactor link in the entire fusion industry for the first time globally. In the future, the team will continue to optimize core computing capabilities, becoming a high - quality, high - fidelity data provider for the fusion industry, and also providing simulation services, route optimization services, and product authorization services. The target customers will cover fusion reactor design units, construction main engine manufacturers, AI surrogate model developers, universities, and research institutions. The output value of a series of businesses will account for about 10% of the fusion industry. As the fusion industry continues to develop, the market space is huge.

Ultimate Vision: Calculate the "Ultimate Reactor"

Currently, there are numerous industrial routes in the fusion field. There are differences in key paths such as fuels (deuterium - tritium, deuterium - deuterium, deuterium - helium - 3, hydrogen - boron) and device configurations (tokamak, stellarator, spherical torus, field - reversed configuration, laser). Each route involves tens of thousands of optimization parameters, and none of the routes have reached convergence. However, the commercial power - generation potential of most routes is extremely limited, and some may even never achieve commercial power generation. Currently, the core simulation foundation for the fusion industry is missing, making it impossible to effectively and quickly verify and optimize routes. By filling this missing module in the industry, Shunyuan Technology will be able to find the "ultimate reactor". Shunyuan Technology is not only a software company but also the "IP origin" of the ultimate advanced - fuel fusion reactor.

Team Members

The core team of Shunyuan Technology comes from top universities and research institutions such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, covering interdisciplinary fields such as plasma physics, computational mathematics, and underlying software architecture. They have profound technical accumulation and the ability to integrate industry - university - research resources. Dr. Xie Huasheng, the founder and project leader of the company, graduated from the physics major of Zhejiang University for both his undergraduate and doctoral degrees. He then completed his post - doctoral research at Peking University. After leaving the post - doctoral program, he joined ENN Group, a private enterprise that was among the first in China to engage in commercial nuclear fusion research, and served as the chief scientist for ENN's fusion theoretical simulation. He has 17 years of in - depth experience in the fusion industry and has published several professional monographs such as Overview of Fusion Ignition Principles and Introduction to Computational Plasma Physics, which have influenced a generation. Dr. Xie Huasheng's core technical achievements have been published in top international academic journals such as Phys. Rev. Lett., Comput. Phys. Commun., and Nucl. Fusion. Dr. Yang Ming, the co - founder, graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree and a doctorate in computational mechanics. He is responsible for algorithm development, integration, team operation management, and financing. Dr. Bao Jian, the technical advisor, is a doctor from Peking University and is currently an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has 16 years of experience in the fusion industry and is the main developer of core internationally leading programs such as GTC. As a core infrastructure service provider in the commercial controllable nuclear fusion track, Shunyuan Technology's technological breakthroughs have reconstructed the efficiency paradigm of fusion R & D. As the global enthusiasm for controllable nuclear fusion R & D continues to rise, high - efficiency and low - cost simulation tools will become the core driving force for industrial acceleration. Shunyuan Technology will also rely on its technological barriers to gradually grow into the core platform of the fusion industry, promoting the accelerated implementation of the commercialization process of controllable nuclear fusion.

Shunyuan Technology believes that the future of nuclear fusion does not lie in the repeated stacking of expensive steel behemoths but in the ultimate order of mathematics and algorithms. Shunyuan Technology is working with a group of tech geeks to leave its code in the epic of humanity's journey towards infinite energy. Currently, the team is following the early models of Deepseek and DeepMind, abandoning the inefficient R & D model of traditional universities and not setting up a cumbersome administrative structure, only focusing on the rapid deduction of truth. It has formed a cross - border special geek force composed of 'physics + computing + AI'. Here, physicists understand code, and programmers understand partial differential equations.
