智东西10月23日报道,昨晚,据路透社援引四名知情人士消息称,DeepSeek约1000亿元第二轮融资的投资方包括兆易创新、美团、吉利、美的和现有股东网易。
其中三名知情人士称,其他投资方还包括博裕资本、CPE源峰、君联资本,以及现有股东IDG资本。一名知情人士透露,本轮融资的投资方总数超过15家。
昨天上午,据彭博社报道,DeepSeek在最新一轮融资中已筹集约1000亿元(折合150亿美元),创下中国AI行业规模最大的融资纪录,宁德时代和腾讯位列本轮融资最大的投资方。
昨日,《华尔街日报》的报道也披露了部分投资方,知情人士称,DeepSeek本轮融资的新增投资方包括专注半导体领域的石溪资本、联想控股支持的君联资本以及吉利等。
除了上述投资方,据《华尔街日报》报道,Monolith砺思资本和拾象科技等现有股东,也向DeepSeek追加了投资。在最新一轮融资完成前,DeepSeek的估值约为740亿美元(约合人民币4936亿元)。
部分知情人士称,DeepSeek本轮融资的谈判时间从今年7月一直持续到10月,比近期其他AI公司融资时间更长,期间不断有新投资者加入。
一边在一级市场融资,DeepSeek另一边也把手伸向了二级市场,据路透社此前报道,DeepSeek已聘请中信证券担任上市顾问,加快推进IPO,目标是明年年初登陆上交所。如果进展顺利,DeepSeek可能早于OpenAI和月之暗面上市。
商业化方面,据《华尔街日报》报道,DeepSeek创始人梁文锋今年9月曾向投资者透露,DeepSeek按当前收入水平计算的年化收入运行率已达到10亿美元(约合人民币66.7亿元)。

It was reported on 23 October that last night, according to four sources quoted by Reuters, DeepSeek ' s investment in a second round of financing of approximately $100 billion included the ease of innovation, beauty, gleaner, American and existing shareholder networks.
According to three of these sources, other investors include Prosperity, CPE peaks, Kings Union capital, and existing shareholder IDG capital. An informed source revealed that the total number of investors in the current round was over 15.
Yesterday morning, according to Bloomberg, DeepSeek had raised about $100 billion (US$ 15 billion) in the latest round of financing, resulting in China ' s largest AI-sector financing record, with the Ningde era and Tencent as the largest investor in the current round.
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal also revealed a number of investors who, according to sources, had added to DeepSeek ' s current round of financing, such as Stone Creek capital focused on the semiconductor area, the King ' s Union capital supported by the Consortium, and Gigi.
In addition to the above-mentioned investors, according to the Wall Street Journal, existing shareholders such as Monolith capital and pick-up technology have also made additional investments to DeepSeek. Before the latest round of financing was completed, DeepSeek was valued at approximately $74 billion (approximately $493.6 billion yuan).
According to some sources, DeepSeek ' s current round of finance negotiations lasted from July to October this year, longer than other recent AI companies, with new investors continuously joining.
The other side of DeepSeek, while financing in the first level of the market, reached the second level of the market, where, according to Reuters, DeepSeek had hired Chinese credit securities as listed consultants to speed up the move towards the IPO, with the goal of landing early next year. If it goes well, DeepSeek may be on the market before Open AI and the Dark Side of Moon.
With regard to commercialization, according to the Wall Street Journal, the founder of DeepSeek, Liang Wenfeng, revealed to investors last September that DeepSeek ' s annualized income performance rate at current income levels had reached $1 billion (approximately RMB 6.67 billion).
