Chinese tech giants Tencent and Alibaba are in advanced negotiations to participate in a funding round for AI startup DeepSeek at a valuation exceeding $20 billion. DeepSeek has officially launched a preview of its new V4 model, aiming to expand its suite of open-source AI offerings. This follows the significant market disruption caused by its previous R1 model, which gained traction for its high performance and low operational costs. Furthermore, Huawei confirmed that its Ascend 950 infrastructure will support the V4 model, providing essential hardware backing for the startup's ecosystem. These potential investments and technical integrations highlight the drive by Chinese firms to secure leadership in generative AI. Analysts continue to monitor how this heavy capital expenditure will impact the profit margins of these tech conglomerates in the medium term.
