On February 28, 2026, Mianyi Intelligence announced the completion of a new round of financing worth hundreds of millions of yuan. This round was led by China Telecom, with CITIC Jinshi and CITIC Private Equity as co-investors. This financing marks that leading domestic large model startups and top operators have entered a deep business collaboration phase. As a strategic investor, China Telecom will open up cloud computing power, network, and terminal resources, complementing Mianyi Intelligence's algorithm deployment experience in areas such as general justice, automotive, and education. Both parties aim to jointly expand the research and development boundaries of artificial intelligence in complex application scenarios.

Currently, the long-distance race of AGI has entered the middle stage of competition, and the "knowledge density" of models and commercialization efficiency have become the recognized key factors for success in the industry. Li Dahai, CEO of Mianyi Intelligence, stated that the company will continue to take improving model knowledge density as its first principle, focusing on the development and open-source of high-performance and lightweight models.

This strategic direction highly aligns with China Telecom's Tianyi Cloud in building "AI-native" cloud-network infrastructure and implementing the "Cloud Reform, Digital Transformation, and Intelligent Empowerment" vision. China Telecom Investment Company pointed out that through this bond-like cooperation, Tianyi Cloud will explore more scenario values with Mianyi Intelligence in areas such as government and enterprise services, and intelligent terminals.

With the global AI industry's booming trend towards edge-side deployment, Mianyi Intelligence's lightweight exploration has become a key force in promoting AI accessibility. This partnership between "computing platforms" and "efficient models" not only indicates that the speed of domestic large models' physical world deployment is accelerating, but also reflects the industry capital's deep recognition of the commercial value of efficient large models. As the operator system deeply enters the AI ecosystem, the industry will accelerate towards the AGI era of everything intelligent.
