Discussing DeepSeek's recent financing and the departure of core team members Guo Daya and Wang Binxuan, pointing out the extremely low turnover rate, which reflects a good team culture.

Deepseek has recently been at the center of attention again over financing (did I use the phrase right?). Closely tied to financing is actually the most important thing: the team. Deepseek has been wildly popular for a while now, but as far as I’ve observed, the only core team members who have left are Guo Daya & Wang Bingxuan. Their turnover rate is frighteningly low. Their team culture and style must be very good—definitely a rare bright spot domestically. Even with the outside world frantically poaching people from DS, they still manage such a low turnover rate. That is truly remarkable.
