Total funding

Checked — none published

Was $7.27B, cited to tracxn.com (nulled 2026-08-28). The aggregator-refusal rule against LinkedIn-scraping headcount aggregators was extended to funding data the same day: Tracxn is refused by name for both, and xAI's funding_total was nulled on this exact ground ("Tracxn-style figures, uncited") while this row and scale-ai's kept theirs. No primary source or named press citation found for a cumulative total; re-check against a funding announcement or SEC-style filing rather than an aggregator.

Valuation

News reporting · 29 Jul 2026

China's Moonshot AI Passes Funding Goal to Hit $35 Billion Value, Bloomberg News, 2026-07-29. post-money valuation of the round dated 2026-07-29. Read via stockanalysis.com's citation for this figure on 2026-08-27.

Employees

Checked — none published

Checked 2026-08-27 and no citable figure found. Four sweeps were run and all came back empty for this company: (1) its own /about, /about-us, /company, /careers, /jobs and /team pages, pattern-matched for a self-published headcount; (2) stockanalysis.com's private-company page, which footnotes each figure to its source; (3) its Forbes company profile, which states a headcount and the month it is as of; (4) a targeted web search. Everything the search returned was a LinkedIn-scraping aggregator, and those disagree with each other by wide margins and cite nothing, so they are not used here. The field is null rather than carrying the round guess it held before.
