Sensetime-W's stock surged 5.19% during intraday trading on Thursday, marking a significant upward movement for the AI technology company.

The sharp rise comes as the company prepares to officially launch its next-generation flagship multimodal foundation model, SenseNova-U1 Pro, later this week. Market sentiment has shifted toward recovery as the launch date approaches, with investors showing renewed confidence in the company's product pipeline.

The stock had previously faced selling pressure after Sensetime open-sourced its SenseNova-Vision visual foundation model earlier in the month, raising concerns about commercialization prospects. However, with that selling pressure largely absorbed and anticipation building for the new U1 Pro model, the stock has now risen for consecutive sessions.
