According to 36Kr, DeepSeek is set to lead a seed round of tens of millions of dollars in robotics AI startup Winverse AI, valuing the company at around $400 million post-money. Investors including Meituan's DragonBall Capital have also committed, though the deal has not yet been finalized.
Winverse AI is a new company founded by Hu Han, former Head of Vision-Language Models at Tencent Hunyuan.
DeepSeek appears to be continuing to invest in robotics, betting on its potential to expand AI's physical-world capabilities.
