DeepSeek 融資約 $15 billion，分析人士稱此舉為上市鋪路
China's AI leader DeepSeek raises $15B
DeepSeek 融資約 $15 billion，成為中國歷來規模最大的融資輪次之一。該公司在本輪融資前兩度上調融資目標；分析人士稱，這輪融資為即將到來的公開上市鋪路。DeepSeek 希望新資金有助推動國際擴張；不過，多國政府及監管機構近期加強審查其安全及私隱政策，部分機構（包括美國政府機構）已全面禁止在政府裝置上使用其技術。
DeepSeek 希望以約 $15 billion 融資支持國際擴張，但多地加強審查其安全及私隱政策，呈現資本投入與監管壓力並存的背景。
Chinese AI champion DeepSeek raised around $15 billion in one of the country’s biggest-ever financing rounds as part of efforts to keep up with Western frontier firms. The Hangzhou-based firm — which last year shocked markets by unveiling a model that could compete with Silicon Valley’s leaders at a fraction of the cost — twice increased its financing target ahead of the latest funding round, which analysts said set the stage for an imminent public listing.
Though DeepSeek hopes the fresh capital will help fund its international expansion, governments and regulators worldwide have recently stepped up their scrutiny of its security and privacy policies, with some, including US agencies, banning its technology entirely from government devices.
