DeepSeek providing support to China's military, claims senior US Official: ‘DeepSeek sought to use…'

A senior US State Department official has accused Chinese artificial intelligence firm DeepSeek of supporting China's military and intelligence operations, a report has said, adding that the official also said that the company also used shell companies in Southeast Asia in an attempt to unlawfully acquire high-end US semiconductors . The allegations, shared with news agency Reuters on the condition of anonymity, represent the US government's first formal assessment of DeepSeek's ties to Beijing and its activities. The official stated that DeepSeek has 'willingly provided and will likely continue to provide support to China's military and intelligence operations,' a claim that goes 'above and beyond open-source access' to its models. This news comes after the Hangzhou-based DeepSeek gained global attention in January by claiming its AI models could match or surpass those from US industry leaders at a significantly lower cost. 'DeepSeek sharing user data with Chinese government' According to the official, the US government believes DeepSeek is sharing user statistics and information with Beijing's state surveillance apparatus, a concern amplified by Chinese laws that compel companies to share data upon request. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

Reuters could not independently verify this data. DeepSeek trying to 'evade' US ban on chips: US official The report also claims that the US official also detailed DeepSeek's efforts to circumvent American export controls on advanced AI chips, specifically Nvidia 's H100s. 'DeepSeek sought to use shell companies in Southeast Asia to evade export controls, and DeepSeek is seeking to access data centers in Southeast Asia to remotely access U.S. chips,' the official was quoted as saying. Meanwhile, Nvidia said it does not support parties that violate US export controls and noted that with current restrictions, it is 'effectively out of the China data center market.' An Nvidia spokesman also stated their review indicated DeepSeek used "lawfully acquired H800 products, not H100," a less powerful chip designed to comply with US export rules.

Trump's media company to buy back $400 million in shares amid stock slump

President Donald Trump's media company plans to buy back up to $400 million of its stock, which have lost 46 per cent of their value this year. Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates the Truth Social media platform, said Monday that the acquisition will improve its financial flexibility. It will retire the shares after they are purchased, meaning these particular shares can't be reissued. Companies can drive their stock higher by acquiring or removing the number of company shares outstanding. Trump is the largest stakeholder in Trump Media, with about 114 million shares. Shares of Trump Media rose just over 2 per cent Monday. But the shares appeared to peak about a month after the company went public in late March. Shares have been on a steady, downward trajectory since. The company said early this year that it lost $ 400.9 million in 2024 and its annual revenue declined 12 per cent to $ 3.6 million. After winning the US presidential election in November, Trump transferred all of his shares in the company worth around $ 4 billion on paper as a gift to the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. Trump's shares amounted to more than half of the company's stock. The company said Monday that it will fund the buyback separately from its Bitcoin treasury strategy. Under that plan, institutional investors will buy $ 2.5 billion in the company's stock with the proceeds going to build up a bitcoin reserve. Trump Media joins other companies with similar cryptocurrency strategies, including cloud and mobile software developer MicroStrategy, which is building a reserve containing billions worth of bitcoin.
