Recently, reports on the completion of Pre-A round of financing for silicon-based liquidity have attracted widespread attention and also sparked a heated discussion about the company's early development history. According to a previous report by Venture Capital Daily, in the second half of 2023, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng proposed the intention to invest in silicon-based liquidity, but the condition was to require silicon-based liquidity to open source its self-developed LLM reasoning engine. However, this proposal was rejected by Yuan Jinhui, CEO of Silicon-based Mobile.
In response to this report, Yuan Jinhui made a formal response in his circle of friends today and clearly denied the relevant statements. He said that his mention of not cooperating with Liang Wenfeng in 2023 is actually expressing his regret for lack of vision for himself, rather than refusing his investment intention as mentioned in the report. This response not only clarifies the facts, but also triggers more speculation in the industry about the future development strategies of silicon-based liquids.
It is understood that silicon-based flow was established in August 2023 and focuses on developing an AI infrastructure platform in the era of big models. Through collaborative innovation of algorithms, systems and hardware, the company is committed to lowering the threshold for the development and use of AI applications. Recently, Silicon-based Flow has launched DeepSeek R1 & V3 enterprise-level services, providing customers with a variety of service mode choices, including exclusive examples, computing power management, private version of MaaS, and all-in-one machine based on Huawei Astron 910B. These innovative products and services further consolidate their leadership in the field of AI infrastructure.
It is worth mentioning that silicon-based liquidity completed a Pre-A round of financing of RMB 100 million by the end of 2024. This major progress not only demonstrates investors' firm confidence in its development prospects, but also provides strong financial support for the company's future technology research and development and market expansion. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, silicon-based flow is expected to play a more important role in the field of AI infrastructure in the future.
