The round: $107M, NVIDIA, Samsung Next, and the imo co-founder On 4 May 2026, DeepInfra announced the close of a $107M Series B round - one of the largest dedicated to inference infrastructure since the open-weight boom began in earnest. The round was led by 500 Global and Georges Harik - former Google engineering director, co-developer of AdSense, and co-founder of imo messenger itself. That last detail is significant: DeepInfra was built by the very team that Harik helped create at imo, giving this round an unusual founder-backed-by-original-founder dynamic.
