Qingmao Intelligence

Qingmao Intelligence (清昴智能) is a foundation-model inference deployment company — in founder Chaoyu Guan's own words, "a provider of foundation-model inference and deployment solutions, building optimization and inference engines adaptable to any hardware environment, so large models can run anywhere" . The founding team comes from Tsinghua's computer science department, with over a decade of accumulated work in edge computing and automatic model compression; Guan himself received Tsinghua's Special Prize for graduate students . The company's stated mission is to cut the cost of using and deploying AI by optimizing the inference and deployment layer, lowering the barrier so AI can run on any device . On the funding side, it announced a tens-of-millions-RMB angel round in June 2023 led exclusively by Oasis Capital , followed by a Pre-A+ round of similar size around June 2024, co-led by Fortune Venture Capital and Dachen, with existing shareholder MiraclePlus participating . Both rounds were reported by Oasis Capital; note that coverage in this corpus stops in mid-2024, so anything more recent isn't reflected here.
