About DeepSeek
DeepSeek is a Chinese artificial-intelligence company founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng and headquartered in Hangzhou. It develops open-weight language and reasoning models that gained international attention for strong performance and comparatively efficient training and inference. The company grew out of the quantitative-investment firm High-Flyer and offers consumer chat products and an application programming interface for developers. DeepSeek remains privately held and has not announced an initial public offering. No reliable public pre-IPO derivative currently prices its equity, so this page uses the latest reported funding valuation rather than a live market price.
