SiMa.ai raises $150M at $1.45 billion valuation, targets Nvidia's Orin with 2028 chip

SiMa.ai raised $150 million in a round co-led by Fidelity and Amplify at a $1.45 billion valuation, about 51% above its July 2025 price. Its next chip lands in 2028 near the dense speed of the Nvidia Thor on sale today, so until then the price depends on today's Modalix chip winning Orin buyers.
