Recently, edge AI inference chip company Lingsi Technology completed a nearly 500 million yuan Series B funding round. This round was strategically led by multiple state-owned investment platforms from Anhui Province and Hefei City, with follow-on investments from leading capital firms including iFlytek Venture Capital, Shen Bao Yi Ben, Yingke Investment, and Yongxin Capital, among others. Several existing shareholders also increased their stakes. Taihe Capital served as Lingsi Technology’s long-term financial advisor.
The funds will be primarily invested in the development of next-generation edge large model AI inference chips. The company’s first edge large model chip, the Nebula series, has entered a critical R&D phase and is planned for launch by the end of 2026. It aims to provide local large model inference computing power for scenarios such as robotics, AIPC, smart cockpits, and whole-home smart systems.
