Dongfang Suanxin

Dongfang Suanxin develops AI accelerators centered on its DF1000 series, which employ a software‑defined architecture and 3D‑stacking with near‑memory computing to shorten data paths and reduce energy use. The company emphasizes a fully domestic supply chain as a strategic response to international export controls. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in the Zhangjiang High‑Tech Park in Shanghai, Dongfang Suanxin has grown to more than 500 employees across seven locations. Wei Shaojun, a Tsinghua University professor and vice president of the Chinese semiconductor association, leads the company. The startup exited stealth and announced its Series A+ round in April 2026 at an implied valuation of roughly 12.275 billion yuan (~€1.7 billion). Management has indicated plans to pursue a Series B in the fourth quarter of 2026.
