the video model just priced itself on hope. wangsu tech agreed to pour 300 million yuan into sand.ai for 4.4 percent, a valuation near 6.8 billion yuan, while the startup's half-year revenue stayed under 18 million, per oct 10 disclosure.
the price of a frame is now a multiple of nothing.
Context
Wangsu Science and Technology's Sep 29 filing says it will invest 300 million yuan (about USD 44.45 million) for 4.3963 percent of Sandai Holdings Limited, the video generation model company behind Sand.ai, via Series A+ preferred shares. A report calculates the implied valuation at 6.8 billion yuan.
The same report lists Sandai's 2026 first-half revenue at 17.398 million yuan with a net loss of 152 million yuan, and 2025 revenue at 366 thousand yuan.
The 300 million yuan, the 4.4 percent stake, the 6.8 billion yuan valuation and revenue under 18 million match the sources. The filing and first coverage are dated Sep 29, not Oct 10 as the post says.
'The price of a frame is now a multiple of nothing' is the author's opinion.
