Wu Wen Xinqiong, an AI infrastructure company, has completed a $230 million C round of financing, setting new records for both single-round and cumulative funding in China's AI-native infrastructure sector. The company, founded in 2023 by teams from Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, has raised a total of $430 million since its inception. It has also submitted an IPO application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in secret, aiming to raise billions of dollars and list by early 2027. Wu Wen Xinqiong focuses on intermediate-layer solutions, such, as heterogeneous compute scheduling and software-hardware optimization, rather than developing hardware or large models. Its platform supports over 16 chip types and has achieved a 97.6% utilization rate in mixed training with both domestic and foreign chips. The company has also completed a cross-regional training test spanning over 4,000 kilometers, connecting Xinjiang Hami to Shenzhen. The company has partnered with major AI firms like Zhipu and Moonshot, and its Token Factory platform has reduced inference costs by 10 times. It has also secured investments from state-owned entities, tech giants, and venture capital firms, including Tencent, Baidu, and Sequoia China.
