DeepSeek Seeks First Outside Funding at $10 Billion Valuation
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is in talks to raise at least $300 million at a valuation of $10 billion, according to Reuters citing The Information. This would be DeepSeek’s first external fundraise — a significant milestone for a company that rattled the industry earlier this year with surprisingly efficient open-source models.
The fundraise reflects the growing reality that even efficiency-focused labs need massive capital to stay competitive as frontier model training costs continue to climb.

Canva Goes Agentic at Create 2026
Canva debuted a full suite of agentic AI tools at its Create 2026 event. With 265 million users, the design platform is quietly becoming one of the most-used AI services in the world. The new tools combine visual creation with workflow automation — users describe what they need in natural language, and AI agents handle the rest.
It’s a direct response to tools like Claude Design and Adobe’s AI plays. The “agentic” trend isn’t just for developers anymore — it’s coming for every creative workflow.
Google Chrome Gets AI Mode Upgrade with Side-by-Side Browsing

It’s a subtle but important shift: AI is no longer a separate destination. It’s becoming the browser itself.
Anthropic and the White House: Cybersecurity Fears Spark a Truce
In a dramatic reversal, the Trump administration is reportedly reopening dialogue with Anthropic after months of publicly criticizing the company. The catalyst? A powerful new cybersecurity tool developed by Anthropic that has caught the attention of government agencies anxious about national security threats.
Just months ago, Trump labeled Anthropic a “woke” company. Now, pragmatism appears to be winning over politics — at least when the stakes involve critical infrastructure defense.
