黑石集团(BX.N)总裁：人工智能投资是我们现在最大的驱动力。

DeepSeek is in talks with strategic investors for its first fundraising round, potentially valuing the Chinese AI startup at over $20 billion. The capital raise, expected in the low hundreds of millions, aims to retain researchers paid largely in stock options amid rising competition from rivals. The company has recently seen key staff departures to ByteDance and Tencent. Founder Liang Wenfeng is also considering alternatives such as a buyback or internal valuation method if fundraising terms are not reached.
