Apex Intelligence raises nearly $50M for RSI

Beijing startup Apex Intelligence completed angel and angel-plus rounds totaling nearly US$50 million to build self-evolving foundation models for scientific research, according to its funding announcement. The company says it will train models through hypothesis, experiment, validation, and iteration, but the release offers no independent benchmark or audited proof of its broader capability claims. Builders tracking recursive self-improvement’s capital thesis should file the round as a financing signal, not a reason to hand a research pipeline to an autonomous model.
