在全球人工智能领域,大模型产业正迎来前所未有的投资热潮。据智东西报道,2024年上半年,全球围绕大模型产业链的超亿元融资达到120起,融资总额超过2300亿元。其中,美国和中国在大模型产业的融资额遥遥领先,分别有59起和35起亿元级融资。
美国在大模型产业的投资总额超过1800亿元,而中国虽然数量上有所差距,但融资总额也超过300亿元,位居全球第二。这些融资主要集中在通用大模型研发、大模型应用、AI Infra、AI数据服务等多个领域。
美国的大模型产业相关企业融资额最高,其中CoreWeave在5月的融资额高达约544亿元,而马斯克的xAI和Anthropic的融资额也分别达到了约435亿元和200亿元。在中国,月之暗面在2月的A轮融资额超过了70亿元,成为全球第七大融资额的企业。
尽管美国在大模型产业的投资额占据了主导地位,但中国的大模型融资也呈现蓬勃发展的态势。据统计,中国的大模型超千万元融资达到近90起,融资总额超过320亿元。北京、上海、杭州和深圳成为大模型融资的高发地,吸引了包括红杉中国、小红书、美团、阿里等投资方的关注。
在所有融资项目中,单笔金融最大的是美国GPU云服务厂商CoreWeave在5月拿下的约544亿元融资。马斯克的xAI5月的约435亿元融资、美国大模型Anthropic在3月约200亿元的融资位居第二、三位。
聚焦中国大模型产业,金额最大的是月之暗面在2月拿下的超70亿元的A轮融资,投资方包括红杉中国、小红书、美团、阿里、招商局中国基金、蓝驰创投等,位居全球第七位。
中国大模型融资方兴未艾,如果把统计口径放宽到千万元级,这一趋势更加明显。据统计,2024年1月1日~7月31日,我国大模型超千万元融资达到近90起,融资总额超320亿元。
从2024年上半年的融资情况来看,大模型产业的资本市场形势向好,大模型应用企业数量最多,AI Infra企业“吸金”能力最强。这表明,随着AI技术的不断成熟和应用场景的不断拓展,大模型产业有望迎来更加广阔的发展空间。

In the global artificial intelligence sector, the massive model industry is experiencing an unprecedented wave of investment. According to a report by ZhiDongX, during the first half of 2024, over 120 billion-yuan financing rounds for the massive model industry were recorded globally, totaling over 230 billion yuan. The United States and China led in massive model industry financing, with 59 and 35 billion-yuan rounds, respectively.
The United States’ total financing in the massive model industry exceeded 180 billion yuan, while China, despite fewer rounds, had a total financing amount of over 3 billion yuan, ranking second globally. The majority of the financing was concentrated in areas such as the development of general massive models, applications for massive models, AI infrastructure, and AI data services.
Among the American massive model industry-related companies, CoreWeave’s May financing of approximately 54.4 billion yuan was the highest, followed by xAI led by Elon Musk, which raised about 43.5 billion yuan, and Anthropic, which raised about 2 billion yuan in March. In China, the A-round financing of the DarkMoon exceeded 7 billion yuan in February, making it the seventh largest global financing.
Although the United States dominates in massive model industry investment, China’s massive model financing is also thriving. Statistics show that China’s massive model financing of over 10 million yuan reached nearly 90 rounds, with a total amount of over 32 billion yuan. Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen became hotspots for massive model financing, attracting the attention of investors such as Sequoia China, Xiaohongshu, Meituan, and Alibaba.
Among all the financing projects, the largest single financing was the 54.4 billion yuan round secured by CoreWeave in May. xAI led by Elon Musk’s 43.5 billion yuan round in May and Anthropic’s 2 billion yuan round in March ranked second and third, respectively.
Focusing on the massive model industry in China, the largest financing was the DarkMoon’s 7 billion yuan A-round in February, which was backed by investors including Sequoia China, Xiaohongshu, Meituan, Alibaba, CICC China Fund, and Lan Cheng Venture Capital, ranking seventh globally.
China’s massive model financing is on the rise, and if the statistics are expanded to include financings of over 10 million yuan, this trend becomes more pronounced. Statistics show that from January 1, 2024, to July 31, 2024, China’s massive model financing of over 10 million yuan reached nearly 90 rounds, with a total amount of over 32 billion yuan.
From the perspective of the first half of 2024’s financing situation, the capital market outlook for the massive model industry is positive, with the most applications for massive model enterprises and the strongest “fund-absorbing” capability among AI infrastructure companies. This indicates that as AI technology continues to mature and application scenarios expand, the massive model industry has the potential to enjoy a broader development space.
