DeepSeek reportedly raises $15B days after US restrictions

DeepSeek has secured 15 billion dollars in new funding just two days after the United States government directed federal agencies to stop using its artificial intelligence services. The capital injection comes amid heightened scrutiny regarding national security risks associated with the China-based developer. While the company continues to attract significant financial investment, it faces increasing regulatory pressure and restricted access to the American public sector market.
