DeepSeek, Open-Source AI Startup, Shifts Focus to Monetization
2025-02-18
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has updated its business registration, signaling a shift towards monetizing its cost-efficient large language models (LLMs). The updated scope includes "internet information services," indicating a move away from pure R&D and towards a business model. This follows the release of their open-source LLMs, previously developed with a research-focused approach. The company, spun out of hedge fund High-Flyer, has yet to comment on this strategic change.
