据《The Information》获得的融资细节显示，中国 AI 明星公司 DeepSeek 本月完成近 160 亿美元融资，不仅吸引了海量资金，还汇聚了中国科技投资界的顶级阵容，以及该国一些最具实力的国家支持机构。
Chinese AI star DeepSeek’s nearly $16 billion funding round this month involved not only a deluge of capital but a who’s who of Chinese tech investors—and some of the country’s most powerful state-backed institutions, according to details of the round obtained by The Information.
这是 DeepSeek 成立三年来的第二轮融资。此前，这家公司一直是唯一拒绝外部资本的主要 AI 模型开发商，直到 4 月完成首轮融资。据两位直接知情人士透露，本轮融资除原有投资方——腾讯和电池制造商宁德时代继续位列前两大投资者外，还引入了包括存储芯片制造商长鑫存储技术及其董事长朱一明在内的其他科技公司。
It was only the second fundraising round for DeepSeek. The three-year-old company was the only major AI model developer to eschew external capital until its first fundraising in April. The new round included previous backers—Tencent and battery maker CATL continue to be DeepSeek’s top two investors—but also other tech companies including notably memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies and its chairman Zhu Yiming, according to the details provided by two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
