Lingrui Zhixin Completes Hundreds of Millions in Pre-A+ Funding for Agent CPUs

On November 13, 2026, Shanghai Lingrui Zhixin Computing Technology Co., Ltd. (Lingrui Zhixin) announced the completion of a Pre-A+ funding round worth several hundred million yuan. The round was led by Meituan Strategic Investment, with follow-on participation from a group of industrial capital backers, including JD's affiliated fund, Ganbei Fund, Lihe Suanxin Fund (a corporate venture arm of Dongfang Suanxin), Junxiu Capital, SenseTime Guoxiang Capital, Shangqi Capital (SAIC's corporate venture arm), and Hupop Capital, an industry investment fund under Sangfor Technologies, along with many existing shareholders.

Lingrui Zhixin was founded in early 2025, and with this round its cumulative funding raised has come to nearly one billion yuan. Liu Yang, the company's founder, chairman, and general manager, said the capital from this round will be used primarily to speed up the R&D iteration and tape-out verification of its agent CPU cores and chip products. According to the company, its server-class, agent-oriented CPU core P100 features the only dynamic simultaneous multithreading (SMT4) technology in China, with a single core supporting up to four threads and the ability to switch dynamically between SMT1 and SMT4. This design converts I/O wait gaps into effective compute capacity, and, paired with a deep out-of-order pipeline of more than 20 stages and an ultra-wide architecture with 8 decoders and 10 issues, balances single-core responsiveness with multi-tasking concurrency to suit a range of agent workloads. No further progress beyond this funding and research disclosure has been reported so far.
