DeepSeek has topped the global ranking for large model API calls, and a $50B funding round is accelerating its development. This marks a shift for Chinese AI from competing on low prices to a new phase of hardcore competition in computing power and technology.
According to a report from Sina, DeepSeek has reached the top of the global ranking for large model invocation (API calls). The company is also accelerating its growth with a $50 billion (500亿 yuan?) funding round. This development signifies that Chinese AI companies are moving away from a strategy of low-price volume grabbing and are officially entering a new stage where competition is centered on computing power and technological strength.
