无问芯穹押注软件解决算力短缺

做的是什么生意

Builds AI computing power infrastructure: creates an M×N middleware layer between models and chips, providing a heterogeneous computing power cloud platform, intelligent computing all-in-one machines, and inference acceleration tools, and sells computing power services to large model companies.

启动资金：In September 2023, the first round was invested in by Sequoia China (红杉中国), GSR Ventures (金沙江), Xuhui Capital (徐汇资本), and others; Sequoia held about 10.7% and was the largest external institutional shareholder. In November, Tencent (腾讯), Baidu (百度), Matrix Partners China (经纬), ZhenFund (真格), Qiming Venture Partners (启明创投), and Zhipu AI (智谱AI) followed.

起因

In May 2023, Wang Yu (汪玉), chair of the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University (清华), started a new venture after Deephi (深鉴科技) was acquired by Xilinx (赛灵思), co-founding Infinigence AI (无问芯穹) with his students Xia Lixue (夏立雪), Zeng Shulin (曾书霖), and Dai Guohao (戴国浩). At the time, domestic large models were booming, supply of Nvidia (英伟达) high-end cards was restricted, and domestic chip ecosystems operated separately; the team bet that software could assemble these computing resources.

经过

In September 2023, Sequoia (红杉), GSR Ventures (金沙江), and others invested; in November, Tencent (腾讯), Baidu (百度), Zhipu AI (智谱AI), Matrix Partners China (经纬), ZhenFund (真格), and Qiming Venture Partners (启明创投) followed. In July 2024, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (世界人工智能大会), the company released the industry's first thousand-card-scale heterogeneous chip mixed-training platform, with computing power utilization up to 97.6%, enabling cross-training among six chip types: Huawei Ascend (华为昇腾), Iluvatar CoreX (天数智芯), MetaX (沐曦), Moore Threads (摩尔线程), AMD, and Nvidia (英伟达). Zhipu (智谱), Moonshot AI (月之暗面), Shengshu Technology (生数科技), and others have already stably used heterogeneous computing power on its cloud platform.

结果

Still expanding: in November 2025, it completed a nearly RMB 500 million Series A+ round, led by Zhuhai Technology Group (珠海科技集团) and Futeng Capital (孚腾资本), with follow-on investment from existing shareholders including Huiyuan Capital (惠远资本), Shangqi Capital (尚颀资本), Honghui Fund (弘晖基金), Lenovo Capital (联想创投), and Legend Capital (君联资本). It has already managed more than 25000P of computing power nationwide, covering 53 core data centers in 26 cities; customers include Baichuan Intelligence (百川智能), Kimi, Lenovo (联想), Li Auto (理想汽车), Shengshu Technology (生数科技), and Zhipu (智谱).

可借鉴之处

当资源稀缺时，赢家将碎片化资源标准化为服务；将国产芯片组装成统一算力并出售。
