Summary
According to Bloomberg citing sources, Korean chip unicorn DeepX has completed a new funding round, with its valuation soaring to approximately 3.14 trillion KRW (about 14.87 billion CNY), four times its previous valuation. The company plans to raise an additional 300 billion KRW by September, potentially reaching a post-money valuation of 3.5 trillion KRW.

Bubble analysis
This AI chip company's valuation quadrupling in a short period indicates high investor enthusiasm for AI startups, potentially inflating bubble risk. However, the funding amount is relatively small and the company has actual products, so its signal for the overall bubble is limited.
