DeepSeek Faces Talent Exodus Amidst Competitive Pressures

DeepSeek is reportedly opening a new round of financing due to significant talent loss, according to ChainCatcher. Several key researchers have left the company to join major firms such as ByteDance, Tencent, Xiaomi, and autonomous driving company Yuanrong Qixing. This development comes as competitors Zhizhi Technology and MiniMax have recently listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, while another rival, Dark Side of the Moon, has completed three rounds of financing in the first quarter of this year, quadrupling its valuation since the end of last year.
