BEIJING -- Nanjing-based artificial intelligence chipmaker Iluvatar CoreX said Thursday that it has closed its Series B funding, having raised hundreds of millions of yuan, said Chinese media outlet PEdaily without disclosing the exact sum.

This round was led by Chinese private equity Centurium Capital, the key investor in Luckin Coffee, and San Francisco and Hong Kong-based Princeville Capital, which once backed Alibaba Group Holding, Baidu, Xiaomi and Facebook.
