DeepSeek首輪風投融資估值或達450億美元
中國ai實驗室deepseek正在尋求首輪風險投資，目標估值高達450億美元，遠高於幾週前估計的200億美元。據報導，該輪融資由國家支持的大基金領投，騰訊和阿裡巴巴也有意參與。資金將用於員工持股以防止人才流失，並支持在華為芯片上的生態建設。
DeepSeek is in talks to raise approximately $1 billion at a $45 billion valuation, a significant jump from the $20 billion figure discussed just weeks prior. The round is led by the state-backed China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund and includes participation from tech giants Alibaba and Tencent. Founder Liang Wenfeng, who controls 90% of the company, is pursuing funding primarily to offer employee shares amid an intensifying war for talent and to further reduce reliance on US hardware by optimizing models for Huawei chips.
