Unusually volatile valuation path: $5.1B peak (2021) down to ~$2.4B in a Feb 2026 down round, then rebounding to $11B five months later -- reflecting swings in AI-chip investor sentiment amid competition from Nvidia, Cerebras, and Groq. The July 2026 Series F was explicitly announced as a 'first close'; CEO Rodrigo Liang told TechCrunch a second close was expected 'in the next few weeks,' but no subsequent report confirms it completed, gave a final total raised, or a revised valuation as of Sept 2026 -- treat the round as still officially first-close pending fresher reporting. No S-1 filed; Liang has said on CNBC he is 'strongly considering' an IPO, most likely in the US, in roughly the next 12 months from mid-2026.
