中国“大模型六小虎”之一的智谱AI近期完成了一笔超过10亿元人民币的战略融资,投资方包括杭州市城投产业基金和上城资本,标志着杭州国有资本首次投资于大型AI模型公司。该笔资金将用于加速智谱AI的GLM基础模型的技术创新和生态系统发展。智谱AI已在杭州成立浙江智谱芯片科技有限公司,旨在利用先进的AI和大模型技术,服务于浙江省和长江三角洲地区的实体经济。公司致力于通过AI技术推动产业的数字化转型。此次融资也被视为智谱AI潜在IPO前的一次关键战略融资。

💰智谱AI作为中国“大模型六小虎”之一,估值达200亿元人民币,已完成超过10亿元人民币的战略融资,用于加速其GLM基础模型的技术创新和生态系统建设。

🏢杭州市城投产业基金和上城资本参与了此次投资,这是杭州国有资本首次投资于大型AI模型公司,表明了地方政府对AI产业的重视和支持。

🚀智谱AI致力于推动产业的数字化转型,已与超过2000家生态合作伙伴合作,并在媒体、咨询、消费品、金融、新能源、互联网和智能办公等行业展开了超过1000个大规模模型应用和深度合作。

🤖智谱AI制定了通往通用人工智能(AGI)的五阶段发展路径,目前正处于L2(对齐和推理)到L3(自学习)阶段,并计划在2025年开源一系列大型模型,进一步巩固其在中国AI创新领域的领导地位。

Zhipu AI

AsianFin — Zhipu AI, one of China's "Six Little Tigers of Large Models" with a valuation of 20 billion yuan, has completed a strategic funding transaction exceeding 1 billion yuan (US$ 138 million).

Investors in the transaction include Hangzhou Urban Investment Industrial Fund and Shangcheng Capital, marking the first time Hangzhou's state-owned capital has invested in a major AI model company.  

The funding aims to accelerate technological innovation and ecosystem development for Zhipu's  GLM (General Language Model) foundation model.

Zhipu has established Zhejiang Zhipu Xinpian Technology Co., Ltd. in Hangzhou, leveraging cutting-edge AI and large model technologies to better serve the thriving real economy in Zhejiang province and the Yangtze River Delta region. The company is committed to driving the digital transformation of industries through AI technology.  

This transaction also represents Hangzhou state-owned capital's first foray into the AI large model sector, following its earlier support for the "Six Little Dragons of Hangzhou," which are Game Science, DeepSeek, Unitree Robotics, Deep Robotics, BrainCo, and ManyCore. It is also seen as a crucial strategic funding round for Zhipu ahead of its potential IPO.  

Founded in 2019 with the vision of enabling machines to think like humans, Zhipu has developed the GLM pre-training architecture, which boasts independent intellectual property rights in China. Its latest foundation model, GLM-4-Plus, positions the company among the world's leading AI technology providers.  

Since launching its open-source billion-parameter conversational model, ChatGLM, in March 2023, Zhipu has iterated through four major versions of the GLM model, releasing over 20 AI model technologies and products.

On the enterprise front, Zhipu AI had partnered with more than 2,000 ecosystem collaborators by the end of 2023, with over 1,000 large-scale model applications and deep collaborations with more than 200 enterprises. These partnerships span industries such as media, consulting, consumer goods, finance, new energy, internet, and smart office solutions.  

Zhipu has outlined a five-stage development path to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): L1 (pre-trained large models), L2 (alignment and reasoning), L3 (self-learning), L4 (self-awareness), and L5 (conscious intelligence).

The stage is currently between L2 to L3, with scaling laws remaining fundamental. The key to model performance lies in ultra-large-scale high-quality data, advanced algorithms, and enhanced computing power.  

Looking ahead, 2025 is set to be Zhipu's "year of open source," with plans to release and open-source a new series of large models, including foundation models, reasoning models, multimodal models, and agent-based systems. This move is expected to further solidify Zhipu's position as a leader in China’s AI innovation.
