AIbase Base

According to foreign media reports, the large-model unicorn DeepSeek's new funding round is accelerating, successfully bringing in multiple industrial and financial investors including Legend Capital, semiconductor-focused Shixi Capital, and Geely, marking the formal entry of Lenovo-affiliated capital into its shareholder roster.

Meanwhile, DeepSeek brought in a new Chief Financial Officer in September this year and has officially hired CITIC Securities to provide advisory services for its IPO, with the listing process expected to advance as early as early 2027.

Before this deep capital-level binding, Lenovo's products had already carried out comprehensive technical adaptation around DeepSeek, integrating it into AI PCs, servers, and enterprise AI solutions. With Legend Capital's entry, the cooperation between the two sides has officially extended from early-stage product and technical adaptation to the levels of capital and industrial ecosystem.

This move not only further brings Lenovo's AI terminals, enterprise AI, and infrastructure businesses closer to the leading large-model vendor, but also marks a new stage in which leading AI large models are accelerating toward deep synergy between capitalization and industrial ecosystems.
