## About

Based in Beijing, China and founded in 2026, Beijing DeepKernel Technology Co., Ltd., trading as DeepKernel, provides sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure for enterprises. Its research team collaborates with Tsinghua University’s InspiringGroup and has experience across cryptography, trusted hardware, distributed systems, AI models, chips, and networks. In September 2026, the company raised tens of millions of CNY in Seed funding led by Shunwei Capital, with participation from Lighthouse Capital.

DeepKernel works with enterprises, intelligent computing cloud platforms, and AI technology partners to provide a three-layer sovereign AI architecture. Its computing layer establishes verifiable trust boundaries for AI training and inference. Its learning layer supports agent execution, evaluation, learning, and orchestration while retaining enterprise control over accumulated intelligence. Its interaction layer develops protocols covering AI agent identity, capabilities, authorization, accountability, and settlement. The company also provides verifiable model training and inference services through trusted heterogeneous computing infrastructure.

The company’s revenue is generated by commercially delivering trusted AI infrastructure, verifiable model training and inference services, and platform-level infrastructure solutions to enterprise customers and technology partners.

The company will use the Seed funding to support its engineering implementation of the sovereign AI three-layer architecture, breakthroughs in core technologies, and recruitment of a high-level technical team.
