DeepSeek could hit $45B valuation from its first investment round
Our take
DeepSeek, a pioneering Chinese AI lab, is poised to achieve a remarkable $45 billion valuation following its inaugural investment round. Gaining prominence in early 2025, DeepSeek captured attention with the launch of a large language model that operates on significantly less compute power and at a fraction of the cost compared to leading U.S. models from OpenAI and Anthropic. This innovative approach not only showcases DeepSeek's expertise but also highlights its potential to redefine the landscape of AI technology and data management.
