Facewall Intelligence announced the completion of a new round of financing worth hundreds of millions of yuan. This round was jointly invested by Hongtai Fund, Guozhong Capital, Qingchu Jin Xin, and Maotai Fund. The completion of this financing will lay a solid foundation for Facewall Intelligence in terms of efficient large model technology, product barriers, industry empowerment, and ecosystem expansion, promoting the scaled application of "edge-side brains" across thousands of industries.
Facewall Intelligence is a company dedicated to creating highly efficient large models, with "efficiency" as its primary principle. It strives to achieve higher performance, lower costs, lower power consumption, and faster speeds under the same parameter conditions. In January 2025, Facewall Intelligence released its first end-side full-modal model, MiniCPM-o2.6, with multiple key capabilities being industry-first innovations. Its comprehensive capabilities have reached international leading levels. Previously, the MiniCPM series, known for its high efficiency and low cost, gained global acclaim and was ranked as the most downloaded and popular Chinese large model on Hugging Face in 2024. To date, the total downloads of the MiniCPM series across all platforms have exceeded 10 million.
Regarding this round of financing, Li Dahai, Co-founder and CEO of Facewall Intelligence, stated that large models are now entering an accelerated phase of industry empowerment. There is a need for more forward-looking judgment on technology and the market and to provide sufficient support for the empowerment of the large model industry. Facewall Intelligence has always aimed at creating efficient large models, consistently achieving leapfrog leadership in key model indicators. After this round of financing, Facewall Intelligence will further deepen its technical barriers and continue to promote the commercialization of large models, contributing to the arrival of the AGI era.
