miHoYo invests in two AI chip companies
On October 19, miHoYo joined Mingxin Qirui’s more-than-RMB 400 million Series A financing. Three days later, Jiutian Ruixin disclosed RMB 1 billion in financing over six months, with miHoYo joining as a new investor. On October 19, miHoYo also completed a corporate registration change that ended its 49% stake in brain-computer-interface company Lingweiyuisi, although it did not disclose the reason for the exit. On October 22, miHoYo and academic and research partners launched and open-sourced the GameScaling series of game models.
The report presents miHoYo’s chip investments alongside its game-model work as part of an effort involving models, research pipelines and underlying computing. It also says that equity investment does not establish a procurement relationship, and no public evidence shows that chips from Mingxin Qirui or Jiutian Ruixin have been integrated into miHoYo’s models or games. The report interprets the portfolio changes as a possible narrowing of investment toward AI rather than a company-confirmed strategic shift.

一周内两次落子芯片、一次告别脑机接口，这组动作不像一家游戏公司的常规业务，却构成了理解米哈游当下最贴切的入口：
