DeepSeek tells prospective investors of funding pause, Bloomberg News reports

DeepSeek has informed prospective investors that it is pausing funding, according to reports from Bloomberg News. This suspension follows viral social media posts and stems partly from the frustration of Liang regarding online reports. These reports concerned specific comments Liang made to investors during his initial financing deal. The company is currently halting the process of securing new capital as a direct result of these public discussions and the subsequent reactions from the founder.
