A post suggests DeepSeek is raising funds again at a valuation approaching $70 billion. The author adds that Bloomberg estimates founder Wenfeng's net worth has reached $36 billion, ranking him 8th on China's rich list.
The author jokingly remarks that this is probably the result of "OpenAI tier structure engineering," implying that such pricing/tier strategies can significantly inflate a company's commercial value.
