Caixun (彩讯股份), formally Caixun Technology Co., Ltd. (彩讯科技股份有限公司) and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under code 300634, is a Chinese software and communications-technology firm that has extended its long-standing telecom and enterprise-messaging business into digital human development. Through its digital intelligent human platform (数智人平台), the company produces high-fidelity virtual humans spanning anime-style, CG-grade, and photorealistic film-and-television-grade avatars, with model precision reaching upward of 500,000 polygons and support for multidimensional customization of facial features, hairstyle, clothing, and synthesized voice. Drawing on its deep roots in the communications sector, Caixun has embedded digital humans within its multimodal AI large-model product line, most notably the "5G New Calling" (5G新通话) full-scenario AIGC offering, which fuses dynamic digital human video, AI-generated music and imagery, AI calling business cards, and an AI call assistant so that a single user photo can drive an animated calling experience. In the first half of 2025 the company reported key breakthroughs in digital human research and development, achieving an end-to-end film-grade intelligent-agent interaction and video-production pipeline supporting multi-scenario deployment, and it is routinely grouped by Chinese market analysts within the digital human, virtual human, 3D modeling, and metaverse concept sectors.
