Tripo AI

Tripo AI is the product line of VAST, a generative 3D company whose research code ships from the VAST-AI-Research organisation on GitHub. Tripo turns text prompts, single images, multiple views and rough sketches into textured 3D assets, and it runs in the browser and over a REST API rather than on a local machine.

Tripo Studio is the creator facing workspace, where models are generated, edited and refined directly in a browser. It supports segmentation, symmetry, pose adjustment and detail tuning, and exports to GLB, FBX, OBJ, USD and STL. A DCC Bridge carries results into Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, Unity, Unreal, Godot, Cocos and ZBrush. The Tripo API exposes the same generation, refinement and export operations to outside applications.

TripoSR is a single image to 3D reconstruction model released with Stability AI, capable of draft quality textured meshes in about half a second on an A100, and it was open sourced under MIT. VAST has since published TripoSG and TripoSF for shape generation and texture control.

TripoSplat is the Gaussian splatting model, released to GitHub on 1 June 2026 and licensed MIT with VAST as the copyright holder, verified from the LICENSE file. It converts a single image into a variable number of 3D Gaussians and carries roughly 1,245 stars and 139 forks. It reached ComfyUI as a native generation path. Co-founder Dr. Yanpei Cao has said that treating the 3D Gaussian as the final delivered format is in development rather than shipped, so Tripo's production path still ends in a mesh.

Pricing runs on credits. The free tier gives 200 monthly credits, roughly thirteen models, one concurrent task and non-commercial use only, with models public. Pro at $20 a month gives 3,000 credits, ten concurrent tasks, private models and commercial use. Max at $90 a month gives 25,000 credits and unlimited 8K texture access, and Team is $55 per seat per month billed annually. Credit packs start at $10 for 1,000 credits. As of 2025 Tripo reported more than three million users, tens of thousands of developers and over 40 million model generations.
