DeepSeek — Founded Date: Jul 2023

NoteThe claim states 'DeepSeek's Founded Date = 2023-07' (July 2023). The source explicitly confirms the founding date as '17 July 2023' (2023-07-17), which matches the claimed month and year of 2023-07. The additional context provided in the claim about being 'spun off from High-Flyer Quant as an independent AI research lab in July 2023' is also confirmed by the source. The date precision difference (month-level claim vs. day-level source) is not a contradiction — both refer to the same month and year.
