Liang Wenfeng, the 39-year-old behind AI disruptor DeepSeek

India Today  

First came ChatGPT, then Gemini, followed by Grok but when DeepSeek came - it sent shockwaves across the tech industry, made investors anxious and wiped off $1 trillion from US tech giants in a day. DeepSeek is just a 20-month-old startup but it has not only captured the world’s attention with its groundbreaking AI assistant, but it's also disrupted the global market with a new approach to AI. At the heart of this revolution is DeepSeek’s founder, Liang Wenfeng, whose humble beginnings in China defy the odds. And DeepSeek’s latest move—a cost-effective, open-source AI chatbot that’s already outperforming the competition—has everyone asking: could this be the beginning of a new tech era? By 27 January 2025, DeepSeek's AI Assistant, which utilizes the V3 model, surpassed ChatGPT as the highest-rated free app on the iOS App Store in the United States; its chatbot reportedly answers questions, solved logic problems and wrote its own computer programs on parity with anything already on the market, according to benchmark tests used by American A.I.
