Silicon-based liquidity CEO Yuan Jinhui denied refusing DeepSeek's shareholding, saying it was only a regret for cooperation

Recently, reports on the completion of Pre-A round of financing around silicon-based liquidity triggered a discussion about the company's early development history. Venture Capital Daily previously reported that in the second half of 2023, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng proposed the intention to invest in silicon-based liquidity, on the condition that it would open source its self-developed LLM reasoning engine, but was rejected by silicon-based liquidity CEO Yuan Jinhui.

In response to this, Yuan Jinhui responded on his circle of friends today and denied the above statement. He said that his mention of not cooperating with Liang Wenfeng in 2023 was expressing his regret for his lack of vision, rather than refusing his investment intention as stated in the report.

It is understood that silicon-based flow, established in August 2023, focuses on developing AI infrastructure platforms in the era of big models. Through collaborative innovation of algorithms, systems and hardware, the company is committed to lowering the threshold for the development and use of AI applications. Recently, the company has launched DeepSeek R1 & V3 enterprise-level services, providing customers with a variety of service mode choices, including exclusive examples, computing power management, private version of MaaS, and all-in-one machine based on Huawei Shengteng 910B.

The company has completed a 100 million yuan Pre-A round of financing by the end of 2024, demonstrating investors' confidence in its development prospects.
