DeepSeek Launches $7.4 Billion Funding Round Following Anthropic's Mythos Threat in April

DEEPSEEK-5.71%
According to The Information, DeepSeek has launched its first funding round exceeding 5 billion yuan (approximately $7.4 billion) after abandoning its previous model of full founder financing. The decision was directly triggered by Anthropic's April demonstration of Mythos, a safety model capable of identifying and exploiting software vulnerabilities. DeepSeek's research team assessed that competing in the computational arms race against nation-state-level models would require massive external capital to expand computing infrastructure beyond founder Liang Wenfeng's personal wealth.
