Indian AI coding startup Emergent has closed a $130 million Series C funding round, lifting its post-money valuation to $1.5 billion — a notable jump from its $300 million Series B valuation in January this year. The round was led by Creaegis, with participation from Khosla Ventures, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Lightspeed, and Y Combinator, bringing the company’s total cumulative funding to $230 million. Emergent offers an integrated AI development platform covering coding, deployment, hosting, testing, and debugging, targeting entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The company noted its annualized revenue run rate has hit $120 million, with over 200,000 paying customers. The financing proceeds will be mainly used to advance product R&D, enhance AI agent workflow capabilities, and expand market presence, including considering opening an office in Europe.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, ByteDance, in collaboration with ZTE Nubia, will launch multiple models of its first AI agent phone—the "Doubao AI Agent Phone"—this year. One model will be unveiled during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, with total inventory of around 200,000 units, and the first batch will be less than 100,000 units. Previously, the first-generation Doubao Phone (Nubia M153 tech preview version) was released on December 1, 2025. Positioned as an "engineering prototype", it had extremely limited inventory and no additional production after selling out. The first batch only had about 30,000 units with no extra material investment. Prices of the Doubao Phone on the secondary market were once driven up, hitting a maximum of 7,999 yuan—far exceeding the official price of 3,499 yuan. A supply chain source noted that the initial inventory of this generation is much larger than the previous one, with some spare parts exceeding one million units. However, due to rising upstream component costs, multiple adjustments were made, bringing the total from the original 300,000 units to around 200,000 units.
