DeepSeek's revenue reached $70.7 million in just seven months, a tenfold increase compared to the full year of 2025. Gross margins improved to 44.6% overall, with the API business hitting 82.9%. Driven by the V4-Flash model, usage remains high despite price hikes. However, the company still reported a net loss of 715 million yuan, nearly matching last year's total. DeepSeek is now pursuing a $74B valuation with a potential Shanghai IPO next year.
