    Tenstorrent raises $1.5B at a $6.2B valuation to expand open-weight AI chips

    AI chip startup Tenstorrent has completed a $1.5 billion funding round at a valuation of $6.2 billion, more than double its $2.6 billion valuation at the end of 2024. The round was led by Trace Capital and Innovation X, with participation from Cadence Ventures, Eclipse, Fidelity, SanDisk, and T. Rowe Price. CEO Jim Keller said the company decided to remain independent and continue raising funds after demonstrating that its Galaxy servers can run DeepSeek models, and that the new capital will be used to expand chips for open-weight model inference and video generation.

    DeepSeek integrates the Harness team with the web, App, and open platform teams

    On October 16, 2026, DeepSeek established a product department, integrating its four teams—Harness, Web, App, and Platform—under the leadership of Cui Tianyi, who comes from a quantitative trading background, to oversee product, design, and R&D. Related reports noted that DeepSeek Harness was open-sourced under the MIT license on August 13, and by mid-October the repository had accumulated about 250,000 GitHub stars; the official website has posted job openings for two directions: AI product manager and Agent Harness. The reports also mentioned that Guo Daya, a core contributor to R1, left in March 2026 to join ByteDance Seed because he believed the Agent direction was not a high priority within DeepSeek. Currently, this integration is coordinated by Cui Tianyi, and there are no further developments with supporting evidence at this time.

    Foreign media report that DeepSeek has completed a second round of financing of 105.5 billion yuan

    According to a report by The Information, DeepSeek has completed its second round of financing, raising 105.5 billion yuan (about 15.8 billion US dollars) and attracting nearly 30 investors. Phoenix Technology, citing the report, said Tencent and CATL each contributed 10 billion yuan, and that ChangXin Memory Technologies, SMIC, Meituan, vivo, Xiaohongshu and others were also among the investors; state-owned investors contributed about 27% of the amount in this round, far higher than 2% in the first round. East Money, citing the same report, said CATL and its chairman Zeng Yuqun contributed 5 billion yuan and 10 billion yuan in the two rounds respectively. The report also said that, affected by rising prices of Nvidia's high-end chips and precautions against an AI bubble, DeepSeek doubled the size of its fundraising midway through the financing. There is currently no official response from DeepSeek.
