Merged summary
TL;DR - DeepSeek reportedly paused signing its second external funding round, which sought at least RMB 10 billion at a pre-money valuation of RMB 480 billion or more. The delay adds uncertainty to its compute expansion and potential 2026 IPO plans.
- The round has reportedly been paused, not formally canceled, and negotiations could resume.
- The decision followed a leaked internal memo and alleged trust concerns with prospective investors.
- DeepSeek completed a roughly RMB 50 billion first external round only weeks earlier.
- Additional capital would support model development and compute infrastructure, including chips, data centers, and energy.
