>So far, there are perhaps only two first-person accounts from DeepSeek, in two separate interviews given by the company’s founder.
I knew DeepSeek was lowkey but I didn't expect this much stealthmode. They were likely off CCP boomer radar until last week when Liang met with PRC premiere after R1 exploded. Finance quants turned AI powerhouse validates CCP strategy to crush finance compensation to redirect top talent to strategic soft/hardware. I assume they're going to get a lot more state support now, especially if US decides to entity list DeepSeek for succeeding / making the market bleed.
