Robotics took over half of this week's ~$2B in AI funding, and the labels that sued Stability AI just funded it
The question: enrich the table from @thehypedotnews' X post listing this week's top AI investment rounds (week ending Aug 29, 2026). The data covers 15 disclosed rounds totaling $1,981M — median $43M — from a $10M seed to Xpeng Robotics' $900M, all figures in millions of USD.

Xpeng Robotics' $900M at a $6.3B valuation — the biggest single embodied-AI round in China, led by IDG Capital — plus GeneralistAI's $200M Series B at $3B put robotics at $1,100M, over 55% of the week. theaiinsider.tech
The twist of the week: Sony, Universal, Warner Music and EA put $76M into Stability AI — the company the labels previously sued. techcrunch.com
Two of 15 rounds were seeds, and both build infrastructure for AI agents rather than humans: Keenable's $26M led by Accel with Conviction, and ArgaLabs' $10M from General Catalyst. techcrunch.com
Socure raised $156M at $5.2B from Summit Partners while simultaneously acquiring Fravity to deploy AI agents against a fraud surge. techtimes.com

Data: 15 AI funding rounds from the @thehypedotnews X post, week ending Aug 29, 2026, enriched (stage, lead investor, valuation, total raised, HQ, founding year, founders) against ~150 news pages scanned the same day. All amounts in millions of USD; valuations are post-money; — means not disclosed. Teal text marks values added by web enrichment; neutral text was in the original post. Per-field provenance flags drive the colouring and are not shown as columns; one cell (Keenable's lead investor) is mixed: the post said "seed led by accel", and "(with Conviction)" came from TechCrunch coverage.
