The little-known artificial intelligence firm has emphasized research, even as it emerged as the brainchild of a hedge fund.

Chinese state-linked social media accounts amplified narratives celebrating the launch of Chinese startup DeepSeek's AI models last week, days before the news tanked U.S. tech stocks, according to online analysis firm Graphika.

News from China upset U.S. markets Monday and disrupted the frenzy that had built up around artificial intelligence.

Deepseek collects similar data to American-based AI models, but Chinese laws could make that data more accessible to the government.
