Infinigence AI raises 2.3B yuan Series C, total funding reaches 4.3B yuan
Chinese AI infrastructure company Infinigence AI has closed a 2.3 billion yuan Series C round, bringing its cumulative funding to 4.3 billion yuan — a record for both a single round and total funding in China's AI infrastructure sector, according to multiple outlets. Founded in 2023 and incubated by the Tsinghua University electronics department's NICS-EFC lab, the company avoids building chips or training foundation models, instead working on heterogeneous compute scheduling and hardware-software co-optimization, and says its platform reaches 37,000P of compute across 16 mainstream chip types. It says daily token calls on its Agentic MaaS platform grew 40-fold from December, and that its cross-cluster heterogeneous PDD architecture cut first-token latency by 51.5% while reducing per-token cost by 37.5%; Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reported the company filed confidentially for a Hong Kong IPO.
As agent workloads inflate inference demand, the round shows capital concentrating on the neutral infrastructure layer that links many models to many chip types.
