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.

Deepseek has recently been in the spotlight again due to fundraising matters (hope I’m using the right term).

Closely tied to fundraising is the most important thing: the team.

Deepseek has been wildly popular for quite some time, and from what I’ve observed, only two core team members have actually left: Guo Daya and Wang Bingxuan.

Their turnover rate is astonishingly low, which suggests that their team culture and style must be excellent—truly a breath of fresh air in the domestic tech scene.

Even with the outside world frantically poaching Deepseek people, they still maintain such a low attrition rate—that’s really remarkable.

A visit to DeepSeek's headquarters reveals its modest origins, young team, and unique culture. The company, operated out of a hedge fund, focuses on staying small and remains unconcerned about AGI risks, instead prioritizing societal concerns like job loss.

@FinanceYF5: 1/ DeepSeek is playing a trillion-dollar game. It doesn't do programming packages, doesn't do multimodal, and insists on open source — looks like self-sabotage. The truth is: it's not aiming for a few hundred million dollars in business, but to support a $10 trillion Chinese AI hardware ecosystem.
