Company Profile
Apex Intelligence was founded in June 2026 and is headquartered in Beijing, with Chen Yongchao, an assistant professor at Tsinghua University's Institute for AI, as its founder. The company targets RSI (recursive self-improvement) at the foundation model layer, training next-generation base models that can conduct research autonomously, learn continuously, and self-evolve on real tasks, feeding research-generated data and experience back into training. On September 16, 2026, Apex Intelligence announced the consecutive completion of an angel round and an angel+ round totaling nearly RMB 400 million. The angel round was co-led by IDG Capital, Xinglian Capital, and XtalPi, with participation from Detong Capital, SEE Fund, Chuxin Capital, and Yunxiu Capital; the angel+ round was co-led by Zhongguancun Science City Fund, Shenzhen Capital Group, and Shanghai Future Industry Fund. State-owned capital from Beijing, Shenzhen, and Shanghai appeared simultaneously on the shareholder register of a company just three months old.
