Meta's $2 billion acquisition of Manus has already made headlines, but what's coming next is truly explosive—a series of projects with hundreds of billions in scale and IPO ambitions that will definitely shake up the entire investment community.

The latest scoop comes from the dark side of the moon. This AI unicorn just crossed the one-year mark and has thrown in $500 million in funding. The Series C round has directly pushed its valuation to the $4.3 billion level—what does this number mean? It indicates that within just a few years, the valuation of such advanced AI companies has already reached the hundred-billion-yuan mark.

On the capital front, IDG led a $150 million investment, demonstrating top-tier investment institutions' dedication to the AI track. This is not just a funding round; it’s more like the market voting with real money—voting for the future potential of the AI industry and the valuation space of these innovative companies.

By comparison, whether it’s Meta’s strategic acquisition or the funding sprint of newcomers like the dark side of the moon, they are all sending the same signal: AI is no longer just a concept hype but a real capital race. The soaring valuations and expanding funding scales point to a deeper change—the industry landscape is being reshaped. Those who can master core technologies and application scenarios will be the ones to reap this wave of dividends.

$4.3 billion valuation, come on, another prelude to cutting the leeks again --- Meta spent $2 billion to acquire, now that's real play. The subsequent financing figures look impressive but are somewhat虚虚实实 --- IDG leading the investment? Okay, let's see how they exit later, haha --- Hundred-billion RMB step? Just listen, the real money is still with those old players --- AI competition is a capital game; whoever has stronger technology survives. Everyone's still guessing now --- The Dark Side of the Moon's recent financing pace is a bit aggressive, feels like someone is rushing towards the IPO deadline --- Who holds the core technology? Haha, still those few giants. Newcomers raising funds won't change the ecosystem --- Spending $500 million to change the pattern? Think too much. Industry reshaping doesn't happen that fast --- It's called a competition in nice words, but it's really a game of rich people bidding against each other --- This round of financing doubled the valuation. Will the projects that follow suit in the next year also join in? The bubble is indeed inflating

Wow, a valuation of 4.3 billion? The growth rate is truly incredible. The AI arms race has entered a crazy phase. --- I’ve looked at the latest funding round of Dark Side of the Moon. IDG leading the investment is no small matter; big companies are all competing for this track. --- Damn, just a few years and it’s already worth hundreds of billions of RMB. Why does it feel like the bubble is getting bigger and bigger? --- Honestly, compared to the funding numbers, I care more about whether these AI companies can actually turn a profit. Big spenders are all following this pattern. --- Meta investing over 2 billion + Dark Side of the Moon’s 500 million shows that capital is betting heavily on the future of AI. It’s a bit crazy. --- Market voting? Sounds nice, but it’s really just whoever has stronger technology gets the most. Others are just along for the ride. --- A valuation of hundreds of billions of RMB, but I don’t see any real application scenarios. This feeling is a bit familiar—2018 déjà vu. --- They really poured in the money, not just blowing smoke. That’s what true results look like. There will definitely be even bigger mergers and acquisitions later.

The Moon's Dark Side's recent funding round was indeed impressive, but I think the bigger question is how long this AI bubble will last. Real money has been poured in, but the technical roadmap is still a mess. Who knows how many will survive in the end?

I've already said that AI is the true secret to wealth. Those who are still hesitating are basically missing the opportunity. This wave of funding has just begun, and the time to position for the future is right in front of us. Don't miss out, everyone.

4.3 billion dollars? The speed of this valuation is truly incredible. A few years ago, it was just a story, and now it's worth hundreds of billions of RMB. --- The Dark Side of the Moon's latest funding round is also extremely aggressive. IDG directly invested 150 million, they are really pouring in the money. --- Wait, can this thing truly generate commercial value, or is it just another round of valuation games? --- It seems that the AI track is still attracting capital, and investors haven't gotten tired of it yet. --- Honestly, there are many AI companies with a valuation of over 10 billion. The real point is who can survive until IPO. --- Metaverse, AI, Web3... Capital just loves to rotate and hype, whoever gets the spotlight will rise. --- The speed of The Dark Side of the Moon is indeed a bit fierce. It feels like another unicorn about to be blown up. --- Real money votes? Well, it all depends on whether they can make a profit in the end. --- Meta spent 2 billion to acquire Manus, and now looking at this funding number... Is this the legendary industry reshaping? --- Stories that rely solely on funding to inflate valuations are getting old. Let's wait for the financial report numbers.

Another funding news, 4.3 billion USD... Is this real or just another bubble? --- IDG leading with 150 million? Damn, these institutions are really all in on AI. --- Meta spending 2 billion to acquire Manus, Moon's dark side raising 500 million... Feels like a race, whoever falls behind is dead. --- Valuation of 10 billion RMB sounds impressive, but I don't know when it will break even haha. --- The term "capital competition" sounds nice, but honestly, it's just about grabbing chips, right? --- Can Moon's dark side's latest financing really change the game? Or is it just another overvalued project? --- Just look at Meta's moves, they've poured real money in, not something hype can compare to. --- Core technology, application scenarios... They sound great, but what about the actual products? --- This wave of AI funding feels a bit overheated... When will the next crash come? --- 43 billion to 100 billion RMB, that's a bit outrageous... How big is the bubble?
