DeepSeek weighs upsizing its funding round to as much as $14.9 billion

CNBC World said the figure could still change as discussions with investors continue.

China-focused AI startup DeepSeek is considering increasing the size of its latest funding round to as much as $14.9 billion, according to sources speaking to CNBC World.

The report said the final amount could still shift because negotiations are ongoing, with DeepSeek weighing an upsizing option before closing the round.

CNBC World added that the funding amount being discussed is tied to the company’s current round, rather than a new offering, and could be adjusted during final talks.
