Sources close to the trading scene, as reported by Caijing, have disclosed that DeepSeek, a prominent large-scale model enterprise, is on the verge of finalizing its most recent funding round. The amount raised has escalated from the initial 50 billion yuan to an impressive 100 billion yuan, marking a twofold increase in the proposed funding sum within a span of less than two weeks. This marks DeepSeek’s second round of funding, with both existing and new shareholders equally contributing to the investment pool. Notably, despite this significant surge in funding, DeepSeek’s pre-money valuation has remained relatively stable, pegged at around 500 billion yuan.
