Who Is The Founder Behind Chinese AI Company DeepSeek?

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING BANGKOK — The 40-year-old founder of China’s DeepSeek, an AI startup that has startled markets with its capacity to compete with industry leaders like OpenAI, kept a low profile as he built up a hedge fund and then refined its quantitative models to branch into artificial intelligence. Liang Wenfeng, who founded DeepSeek in 2023, was born in southern China’s Guangdong and studied in eastern China’s Zhejiang province, home to e-commerce giant Alibaba and other tech firms, according to Chinese media reports. When DeepSeek was asked, “Who is Liang Wenfeng?” its first answer was to name a different Chinese entrepreneur with the same name, at least as spelled in English letters. When asked: “Where is Liang Wenfeng from and where did he go to university?” it said that as of October 2023, the most recent knowledge cutoff for DeepSeek’s R1 AI model, “there is no publicly available information about Liang Wenfeng’s background, including his place of origin or educational history.” “If you are referring to the founder of DeepSeek, details about his personal life or academic background have not been disclosed publicly.
