Institutional dossier
The documented history of DeepSeek / 深度求索: chronology, people, research, capital and compute, and governance. Every statement opens its source and its limits.
Records dated 2023-05-25 to 2025-01-22 · 2 undated
11 claims · 5 sources · 11 not editorially accepted. The counts describe this selection. They do not measure completeness or independent confirmation.
Scope, evidence and limits
Description: Separate company described by Liang Wenfeng in May 2023. This dossier distinguishes that account from legal incorporation, ownership and subsequent operating claims.
The records are grouped automatically. No human inspection of the selected claims, source paths or framing is recorded for this dossier. Each source passage shows how it was checked.
The dossier is computed from existing records. It is not a continuous history of the institution, and a missing record does not mean that an event or relationship did not happen. The chronology uses the dates of events and reports, not the date the public could first have known of them. Later sources can describe earlier events.
