2/ DeepSeek: A Quant Trader’s Obsession DeepSeek was founded in 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, a Zhejiang University alum (fun fact: he attended the same university as our CEO and co-founder Sean @xiangrenNLP, before Sean continued his journey on to Stanford and USC!). Liang’s background in quantitative trading at High-Flyer gave him a unique perspective on AI’s potential. Long before the generative AI boom, he was stockpiling 10,000+ NVIDIA A100 GPUs—yes, you read that right. By 2021, he had already built a compute infrastructure that would make most AI labs jealous! His mission? To pioneer AGI through algorithmic innovation, not brute-force compute. This focus on efficiency became a necessity due to US chip export restrictions, but it also set DeepSeek apart from the start.
