Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai · XDeepSeek完成74亿美元融资，估值达500亿美元，成为中国估值最高的AI初创公司。创始人梁文峰在融资前持股近90%，并以约30亿美元个人出资成为最大投资方。本轮主要投资者包括腾讯（约15亿美元）、宁德时代（约7.4亿美元）以及国家人工智能产业投资基金（约1.5亿美元）。DeepSeek计划继续推进开源模型和AGI研究，同时帮助华为等国内芯片制造商在美国芯片限制下运行强大模型。
DeepSeek takes the crown as China's most valuable AI startup after a massive $7.4B raise at a $50B valuation.
The unusual part is control： Liang Wenfeng， DeepSeek's founder， held almost 90% of the company before the financing and invested around $3 B as the biggest contributor.
DeepSeek's bet is to keep pushing open-source models and AGI research， while also helping domestic chipmakers such as Huawei run powerful models despite U.S. chip limits.
