Ant Group's Inclusive Financial Plan is set to undergo two rounds of financing within the year, with the first round aiming to raise 1.5 billion yuan.

According to Dongcha Beating monitoring, Lingbo Technology, the intelligent company under Ant Group, has initiated its first round of financing, aiming to raise $1.5 billion, with plans to complete a second round by the end of this year.

Lingbo mainly focuses on the "universal brain" for robots, hoping to use a single model to adapt to robots of different brands and forms. Its LingBot series covers visual perception, 3D mapping, world prediction, and motion control, enabling robots to understand the environment and perform tasks. The latest version, LingBot-VLA 2.0, uses approximately 60,000 hours of pre-training data, covering 20 robot configurations.

Previously wholly owned by Ant Group, Lingbo is now starting to attract external capital. While the first round has not yet been completed, the second round is already scheduled for the end of the year, with a financing pace more aggressive than the amount.
