DeepSeek 剛融資 70 億美元 — 為何它急需更多資金
deepseek 正在以 710 億美元估值尋求新一輪融資，距其 70 億美元融資僅數週，旨在建設數據中心和購買晶片。這筆資金旨在維持其 v4-pro 模型超低價格策略，該價格比競爭對手便宜 11 倍。
deepseek is seeking fresh capital at a $71b valuation to finance proprietary data centers, purchase ai chips, and develop a custom inference chip to reduce reliance on nvidia and huawei. the funding push follows a $7b round closed in late may and is driven by the success of its v4-pro and v4-flash models, whose permanent low prices are driving rapid adoption among us firms. despite trailing western models like openai's gpt-5.6 sol in performance, deepseek's price gap—roughly 11x cheaper on input—has made it a top spending category for tracked businesses. the move signals an intensifying arms race among chinese ai labs, as rivals like zhipu ai and moonshot ai also secure capital to compete on both price and scale.
