DeepSeek, formally Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd., is a Chinese AI company founded in July 2023 by Liang Wenfeng and owned and funded by the hedge fund High-Flyer. The company develops open-weight large language models and launched its eponymous chatbot alongside the DeepSeek-R1 model in January 2025, later following it with DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-V4.1 Flash; the chatbot is offered free of charge, with paid access through a separate API platform. DeepSeek is based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and its reported low training costs sent shares of Nvidia and other tech giants tumbling in January 2025.
