The pre-funding valuation is estimated to be around $900 billion, potentially surpassing OpenAI (valued at $852 billion in March) to become the world's highest-valued AI company. Currently, institutions such as Dragoneer, General Catalyst, and Lightspeed Venture Partners have proactively expressed investment interest.
