82.9% API gross margin—How does DeepSeek make money?

Guys, a company valued at 500 billion isn’t worth that much on “storytelling” alone. Capital is willing to pour 100 billion into it only if the company can actually make money.

DeepSeek’s financial data is now public. In the first seven months of 2026, DeepSeek confirmed revenue of approximately 475 million yuan, about ten times its full-year 2025 revenue. Its API business had a gross margin as high as 82.9%, while its overall gross margin was 44.6%. The 82.9% API gross margin was higher than Anthropic’s and OpenAI’s during the same peri

This wave in the auto industry is giving people chills when viewed on a timeline.
The Stelato V800 “brake pedal” incident had just ignited public opinion when People’s Daily turned around and took aim at “fast-track cars.”
Then Zhao Qiang, editor-in-chief and vice president of People’s Daily Online, resigned.
Three things colliding one after another like this… what a sequence…

After a sharp drop over 24 hours, $WLD is currently at 0.4902USDT, already approaching the 1-hour resistance level at 0.5338. Although the price has fallen, 1-hour trading participation is only 0.10x, suggesting weak momentum. This looks more like a tentative drop than a genuine trend confirmation.
If the price breaks above 0.5338 and holds there, this could further confirm the continuation of the downtrend. But if the price hovers around 0.5338 or pulls back, this sharp drop was likely the market testing support at 0.478.
My current view is that this looks more like a tentative drop. But if t

Funding doubles in half a month—from 50 billion to 100 billion. What exactly is capital scrambling for?
Guys, first, take a look at these numbers. DeepSeek’s second funding round was originally planned to raise 50 billion yuan, but in just half a month, the amount doubled to around 100 billion yuan. What does that mean? China’s largest fundraising project in the primary market this year, raising around 150 billion yuan in six months.‌
Even more astonishingly, the funding amount doubled, but the valuation didn’t rise. DeepSeek’s current pre-money valuation remains at around 500 billion yuan. I

#WCTCS9 #每周来晒 Gold poised for a breakout, silver under pressure after breaking down, and oil taking aim at $100! Which will break the deadlock first?
On Friday (October 16), gold, silver, and oil showed clearly divergent technical trends for the week: gold continued to consolidate near support in the “green zone” between $4,110 and $4,170, silver remained under bearish pressure after breaking below a key level, while oil extended its climb above $95, forming a new bullish advance.
Gold holds its support range Gold is still trading near the $4,110–$4,170 support area. Price action suggests that

美国9月PPI数据公布 #PPI前瞻 Inflation Data Relay: PPI Arrives, Full Analysis of Market Direction
I. Core Market Background
The release of the U.S. September CPI data immediately exceeded broad market expectations, with inflation stickiness far surpassing prior market pricing and instantly resetting the pricing logic for global major asset classes. Tonight at 20:30, the U.S. September PPI data will be officially released. As a core leading indicator on the production side of the inflation chain, it will directly verify the persistence of this round of inflation and become the market’s most critical new

Memory chip stocks are in a sharp drawdown, and the selloff has now stretched across several sessions. Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate (STX) have all been sliding, but the damage is not evenly spread. Micron has fallen roughly 14% over the five sessions through October 14, even though it is still up about 97% over six months and about 191% year to date. That gap between recent weakness and the long-term run is the core of the debate right now. Below I walk through what is driving the move, where the key levels sit, and how

$SOL This time, I’m not talking about price, but about a data point. In September, stablecoin transfers on Solana totaled 557 million, up 30% from August. Some people see that and say, “Isn’t this just applications growing?” Let me pour cold water on that: more stablecoin transfers only prove that people are moving around on-chain; not every transfer means someone is sticking around. Transfer fees and the cost of wash trading in this space are absurdly low. With fees of just a few mills, you can’t tell a transaction from genuine demand. It’s Sunday afternoon now, and market volume has shrunk t

Bitcoin at $80K: Can BTC Survive Wall Street’s Growing Fear?
The cryptocurrency market is approaching a critical turning point as Wall Street’s latest technology-led selloff raises fresh concerns about global risk appetite. Bitcoin remains near an important psychological support zone, while Ethereum and major altcoins continue to face resistance. At the same time, persistent inflation concerns and uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policy are making investors more cautious.
The biggest question heading into the new trading week is simple: Can Bit
