DeepSeek Bets on Robot Brains, Leading Winverse AI Seed Round at a $400 Million Valuation
DeepSeek has agreed to lead the first funding round for Winverse AI, a months-old stealth startup building artificial intelligence for robots, Bloomberg reported on October 12, citing people familiar with the matter. The seed round amounts to tens of millions of dollars and would value Winverse at about 400 million dollars after the investment. Meituan's Long-Z Investments has also committed capital, according to the reports. One caution belongs up front: the deal has not closed, and the terms and the investor list could still change.
