   Li Auto chip unit Mahexin raises RMB 1.625B, valuation up to RMB 17.1B

   Li Auto said on Oct 16 that its chip subsidiary Shanghai Mahexin Technology has signed a first-round equity financing agreement with subscriptions totaling RMB 1.625 billion. The round was led by Hangzhou Jingtao, BlueRun Ventures and Huaye Tiancheng, with MiraclePlus participating; Li Auto contributed RMB 1 billion through a wholly owned subsidiary while external investors put in RMB 625 million. Hangzhou Jingtao and its affiliated funds hold a one-time additional subscription right to invest up to RMB 500 million more at the same price before Dec 31, 2026, which if fully exercised would put Mahexin's post-money valuation at RMB 17.1 billion; after the deal Li Auto expects to hold about 74.01% and keep control. The report notes Li Auto's in-house Mach M100 chip entered mass production in vehicles in May 2026, debuting in the new Li L9 Livis, using a 5nm automotive-grade process and a dynamic data flow architecture with 1,280 TOPS per chip, 8-channel LPDDR5X memory and 273GB/s peak bandwidth; Li Auto claims it is the world's first mass-produced dynamic data flow AI chip, with actual operating efficiency above 82%.

   Why elderly care is becoming embodied AI's first proving ground

   A TMTPost analysis argues that while the home remains embodied AI's hardest setting, semi-structured spaces such as hotels and nursing homes are becoming the proving ground where robotics companies validate their models before entering households. It cites the Sept 12 announcement by Xieyue Intelligence — founded in February 2026 by former Li Auto executives Chen Wei and Zhang Xiao — of a several-hundred-million-yuan angel+ round; the company calls itself an embodied foundation model firm with the family as its first market and plans to validate laundry, tidying and cleaning tasks in care institutions first. The piece also reviews Fourier's GR-3 "Care-bot", a Shenzhen welfare centre nursing robot coded "0755" built on X Square Robot's platform, Rushen's Qijia Q1, elderly-care roadmaps from UBTech and AgiBot, Chinese policy pilots that require months of in-field validation, the country's 323 million people aged 60 and over, and unresolved issues around safety, cost, liability and privacy.

Li Auto said it will launch the Li 6 in the Netherlands and Norway in Q1 2027, AITO plans to enter Europe in autumn 2027, and Volkswagen's China deliveries fell about 30.2% year on year in the first three quarters to roughly 1.379 million units. Europe also plans to cap annual Chinese hybrid vehicle imports at 350,000 units, rising 6% per year.
