The roughly 50 billion yuan raise was expected to close by end of August, with a syndicate including China's national AI fund, NetEase, JD.com, IDG Capital, Loyal Valley, Shixiang Capital and Monolith Management. Proceeds go to R&D and a compute buildout, and the company could file as soon as end of 2026. (Tech Startups) This resumes a round first floated in July, so treat the valuation as reported rather than confirmed until close.
