About Liang
Liang Wenfeng founded DeepSeek in 2023, an offshoot of his quantitative hedge fund High-Flyer Capital (which he co-founded in 2015). DeepSeek's V3 and R1 models reshaped the global open-weights conversation in late 2024 / early 2025 — frontier-class quality trained for a fraction of Western lab budgets, released under permissive licensing.
