Liang Wenzine: The strongest model will open up because there is no benefit in seeing the closed source
On July 23, the founder of DeepSeek, Liang Wenzine, said at a recent investor exchange, “I think we are open, and then our strongest model may be open. Because I can't see the benefits of closing the source. Even if it's a model open source, you tell people everything. It's a very high threshold. The threshold is very high for others to use. With only six times the profits we make, open source has no impact. But if you're going to make a hundred times the profit, then the open source does affect you to make a hundred times the profit. We were also open-source, not because you're a rival. This is already part of the open source. I do not fear that others will deploy our models to compete with us, and I hope that they will. I am only concerned that he will not be able to deploy, that some of the details will not be done correctly, that the results will be worse or that the costs will be higher. We give open source models the same as our own models. We don't say open source is a near model, and we use a better model when we deploy ourselves. Throughout last year, at the C end I was basically the open source, and then the C end service didn't see any conflict.”
