据《上海证券报》报道，10月22日，有市场消息称，国内大模型公司DeepSeek（深度求索）拟在最新一轮融资中筹得约1000亿元人民币（约150亿美元），腾讯和宁德时代为本轮出资最多的投资方，交易预计在未来数日内正式完成。
截至目前，DeepSeek及腾讯等相关投资方均未公开回应。记者从接近公司和投资方的多个信源交叉求证，确认上述消息属实。消息人士透露，本轮募资目标最初设定为500亿元，此后经多轮上调至约1000亿元，目前尚未官宣，最终金额仍未完全确定。
这笔资金将继续用于模型训练、算力建设和人才招募，以支撑DeepSeek参与全球竞争。也有部分消息人士判断，本轮融资将为公司筹备中的科创板IPO铺平道路。
业内人士认为，随着DeepSeek新一轮融资落地，国产大模型的“算力军备竞赛”将进一步提速。这笔资金能否高效转化为训练能力和模型迭代速度，将决定DeepSeek能否在深度智能的赛道上缩小与海外旗舰模型的差距。
