DeepSeek Revenue 10x, Losses Grow Slower at 31%
eyishazyer · x · 2026-08-27
DeepSeek's financials show a widening gap between surging revenue and slower-growing losses. The Information confirms 70 million USD in revenue over the first seven months of the year—tenfold its entire 2023 total—while losses hit 715 million RMB (about 76% of last year's total). Annualized, losses are up only 31% year-over-year. This follows a pricing controversy where a 355% API hike was partially rolled back after developer backlash.
