DeepSeek's father talks about the greatness of AI and the dream that has not come true

"Hello young people, I am Liang Wenfeng from DeepSeek. I just answered a question and saw another one, I can't help but answer all of them on New Year's Eve," Liang Wenfeng, founder of DeepSeek, opened his post at the turn of the new year on January 29.

Despite being hailed as “the pride of China” and “the one who redraws the global AI map,” Liang is modest in saying that he and his team are standing on the shoulders of giants. “In the open source community, we are just tweaking things a little bit and trying to rebuild the big national model,” said the DeepSeek founder.

The Greatness of AI

Sharing the most impressive thing after the success of the R1 AI model, Liang told about a blind developer who used DeepSeek's API (application programming interface) to create a "navigation by smell" application.

"When he demonstrated how to identify street stores through different frequency vibrations, the entire auditorium was so quiet that you could hear the graphics card fan running. My eyes blurred when I truly understood that greatness has never been a specific model but lies in the virtuous ripples created by millions of ordinary users," said the rising star of China.

DeepSeek's founder says "equality of knowledge and information" is what drives us every day. "Three years ago, in a small warehouse, we wrote on a whiteboard the group's goal: 'Let children in the most remote mountain villages have access to AI assistants as smart as engineers in Silicon Valley,'" the 40-year-old engineer said. "Although this dream is far-fetched, every time I see screenshots of DeepSeek shared by people, I feel like all the hair on my head that has fallen out was worth it."

The Power of the Mysterious East

When DeepSeek shocked the world , Liang Wenfeng was seen as the clearest demonstration of the so-called greatness of the "mysterious East". But Liang did not think so. He said: "Let's give a round of applause to all the Chinese developers who are rewriting the rules".

The father of DeepSeek declared that they are ready to become a competitor to everyone in this "wild" market. What he really wants to do is to light the fire of curiosity and perseverance of AI engineers.

Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, when Chinese startups' robots simulate their boss's gait and store on the new cloud a brain-computer interface, run DeepSeek's cognitive engine, and use virtual worlds built by Chinese programmers, the world will witness the extraordinary power of AI - things that seem to be just products of imagination but will soon lift the fog and step into real life.

"Finally, I would like to add a recruitment information. Welcome everyone to join the DeepSeek team. Wish everyone a happy new year and more products," Liang said.

Liang Wenfeng's article was immediately shared across Chinese social networks and technology forums. Many people believe that DeepSeek's success and unique approach will open a completely new era, possibly repositioning the global technology map, challenging the position of the West in general, the United States and Silicon Valley in particular in the new era.
