DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab, has Silicon Valley reeling with its R1 reasoning model, which it claims uses far less computing power than those of American AI leaders — and, it’s open source. The DeepSeek app has shot to the top of the App Store charts this week, dethroning ChatGPT.
But who is Liang Wenfeng, the leader of the company so disruptive that it sent Nvidia shares tumbling? According to The Wall Street Journal, DeepSeek isn’t the entrepreneur’s first company. In 2013, a few years after graduating from university, Liang founded the investment firm Jacobi, where he wrote AI algorithms to pick stocks. Two years later, he started High-Flyer, the AI-supported hedge fund that backs DeepSeek and that, according to the WSJ, currently manages $8 billion.
Liang distinguishes himself from other AI founders by making his product free and open source; with the backing of his own hedge fund, he doesn’t seem to need the extra money.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog
and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and
i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect
against it, any plugin or anything you can recommend?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
