Tranzacție financiară majoră suspendată de DeepSeek în China
DeepSeek, an AI startup, has temporarily suspended its second funding round due to concerns over public statements made by founder Liang Wenfeng regarding competitive imbalances between Beijing and Washington. This decision has halted major financial transactions and delayed investment agreements. The management's dissatisfaction stems from the online release of confidential reports from a previous funding round. Despite the suspension, negotiations remain open, and the company is considering resuming private placements. DeepSeek aims to raise at least 10 billion yuan, with a pre-money valuation target of 480 billion yuan. The company recently secured $7 billion in initial funding and is planning an IPO this year.
