DeepSeek formally files for an initial public offering in China.
Reports indicate DeepSeek engaged CITIC Securities to prepare a domestic listing. An official submission to Chinese securities regulators would confirm the step.
Across 6 frontier models answering independently, the panel leans no: the median is 40%.
They do not agree: GPT puts it at 57% and Claude at 22%, 35 points apart. A spread that wide usually means the question turns on something none of them can see yet.
Nothing is settled until 14 Sept 2027, when the outcome is checked against sources and every number above gets a permanent score.
