The tracker spans rounds, IPOs and one earnings report across compute, robotics and regional model builders. | Date | Deal | Amount | Round | Valuation | | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | -------- | --------- | | 2026-07-31 | [Moonshot AI Funding Round Doubles to $3.5B at $35B Valuation](https://bytevyte.com/moonshot-ai-funding-round-doubles-to-3-5b-at-35b-valuation/) | $3.5B | Ipo | $35B | | 2026-08-02 | [K2 Space Series D: The $6.8B Bet on Bigger Satellites](https://bytevyte.com/k2-space-series-d-the-6-8b-bet-on-bigger-satellites/) | $6.8B | Series D | $6.8B | | 2026-08-02 | [Unitree IPO Creates the First Public Valuation Benchmark for Humanoid Robots](https://bytevyte.com/unitree-ipo-creates-the-first-public-valuation-benchmark-for-humanoid-robots/) | — | Ipo | — | | 2026-08-03 | [Amazon OpenAI Investment Complete: $50B Stake, AWS, IPO](https://bytevyte.com/amazon-openai-investment-complete-50b-stake-aws-ipo/) | $50B | Ipo | — | | 2026-08-03 | [MediaTek AI Data-Center Chip Expansion: Inside the $5B Bet and the 20% Phone Slump](https://bytevyte.com/mediatek-ai-data-center-chip-expansion-inside-the-5b-bet-and-the-20-phone-slump/) | $5B | — | — | | 2026-08-04 | [Valar Atomics $1B Raise Fuels Nuclear Factory Push](https://bytevyte.com/valar-atomics-1b-raise-fuels-nuclear-factory-push/) | $1B | — | — | | 2026-08-04 | [Anthropic Volta Compute Deal: $10 Billion, a Week-Old Startup and a Bitcoin Miner](https://bytevyte.com/anthropic-volta-compute-deal-10-billion-a-week-old-startup-and-a-bitcoin-miner/) | $10B | — | — | | 2026-08-05 | [Sarvam AI Funding Round: Nvidia's $74M Investment Fuels India's Sovereign Model Plans](https://bytevyte.com/sarvam-ai-funding-round-nvidias-74m-investment-fuels-indias-sovereign-model-plans/) | $74M | — | — | | 2026-08-05 | [AgiBot Hong Kong IPO Targets Up to $6.4 Billion as Robotics Rivals Queue Up](https://bytevyte.com/agibot-hong-kong-ipo-targets-up-to-6-4-billion-as-robotics-rivals-queue-up/) | $6.4B | Ipo | — | | 2026-08-07 | [Unitree IPO Prices at 219x Earnings as Humanoid Robotics Gets a Daily Market Test \[Update\]](https://bytevyte.com/unitree-ipo-prices-at-219x-earnings-as-humanoid-robotics-gets-a-daily-market-test-update/) | — | Ipo | $9B | | 2026-08-07 | [AMD data center revenue doubles as AI chip race tightens](https://bytevyte.com/amd-data-center-revenue-doubles-as-ai-chip-race-tightens/) | — | — | $6.7B | ## AI business funding flowed to compute, power and chips Beyond Amazon, the week's largest commitments targeted compute, power and silicon. Anthropic committed [$10 billion to an Nvidia-backed startup and a bitcoin miner for 133MW of Vera Rubin capacity in Norway](https://bytevyte.com/anthropic-volta-compute-deal-10-billion-a-week-old-startup-and-a-bitcoin-miner/). Valar Atomics raised [$1 billion led by Sequoia](https://bytevyte.com/valar-atomics-1b-raise-fuels-nuclear-factory-push/) for factory-built small modular reactors after its Ward 250 reactor powered an Nvidia Blackwell system. Across the week, the AI business funding pattern stayed consistent: capital flowed to the compute stack and the energy to run it, alongside the model labs themselves. Chipmakers leaned into data centers. MediaTek's [$5 billion financing framework](https://bytevyte.com/mediatek-ai-data-center-chip-expansion-inside-the-5b-bet-and-the-20-phone-slump/) backs custom AI silicon even as phone revenue falls 20%, with 2027 custom-chip targets at $80 billion. AMD's data-center revenue doubled to [$6.7 billion in a record Q2](https://bytevyte.com/amd-data-center-revenue-doubles-as-ai-chip-race-tightens/), though its stock fell on valuation and capex concerns as its AI chips close in on Nvidia. Away from chips, K2 Space raised [$500 million in a Series D at a $6.8 billion valuation](https://bytevyte.com/k2-space-series-d-the-6-8b-bet-on-bigger-satellites/), betting falling launch costs favor bigger satellites over the small-satellite orthodoxy. ## Robotics and regional models take the stage Unitree's [IPO gives humanoid robotics its first public valuation benchmark](https://bytevyte.com/unitree-ipo-creates-the-first-public-valuation-benchmark-for-humanoid-robots/). The Shanghai STAR Market listing priced at [150.80 yuan per share](https://bytevyte.com/unitree-ipo-prices-at-219x-earnings-as-humanoid-robotics-gets-a-daily-market-test-update/), a 219x earnings multiple and roughly a $9 billion valuation, with DeepSeek anchoring the deal; subscriptions open August 10\. AgiBot is queued behind it, targeting up to [$6.4 billion in a Hong Kong listing](https://bytevyte.com/agibot-hong-kong-ipo-targets-up-to-6-4-billion-as-robotics-rivals-queue-up/) sponsored by Citic Securities, CICC and Morgan Stanley. The 219x multiple puts a daily price on a category that previously had none. Regional AI business funding drew capital too. Nvidia led a [$74 million round in Sarvam AI](https://bytevyte.com/sarvam-ai-funding-round-nvidias-74m-investment-fuels-indias-sovereign-model-plans/) near a $1.5 billion valuation for a trillion-parameter sovereign model under the IndiaAI Mission. Moonshot AI closed a [$3.5 billion round at a $35 billion valuation](https://bytevyte.com/moonshot-ai-funding-round-doubles-to-3-5b-at-35b-valuation/), double its target, with a $50 billion pre-money follow-on lined up ahead of a Hong Kong IPO. Next week, watch Unitree's August 10 debut on the STAR Market and AgiBot's Hong Kong pricing. ## Related Articles - [Unitree IPO Prices at 219x Earnings as Humanoid Robotics Gets a Daily Market Test \[Update\]](https://bytevyte.com/unitree-ipo-prices-at-219x-earnings-as-humanoid-robotics-gets-a-daily-market-test-update/) - [Amazon OpenAI Investment Complete: $50B Stake, AWS, IPO](https://bytevyte.com/amazon-openai-investment-complete-50b-stake-aws-ipo/) - [Anthropic Valuation Hits $900 Billion as Firm Surpasses OpenAI in New Funding Round](https://bytevyte.com/anthropic-valuation-hits-900-billion-as-firm-surpasses-openai-in-new-funding-round/) ✔Human Verified --- *Researched and cross-referenced against primary sources by the Bytevyte editorial team.
