"DeepSeek competes through engineering excellence and operational effiency rather than secrecy." "Liang believes genuine research requires relaxed environments, curiosity, and intrinsic motivation rather than constant deadlines or overtime." "DeepSeek deliberately practices restraint. It open-sources its strongest models, prices its APIs for only a reasonable return, avoids competing in every adjacent market, and leaves many commercial opportunities to partners." 1. This is conscious capitalism that we all can get behind, not the extractive & winner-take-all capitalism that plagues the US. 2. Sounds like DeepSeek's culture is as healthy as it gets in the corporate world. Everyone's given autonomy and the space to do their best work. Obviously, every contributor needs to be truly mission-driven and highly talented for this to work, but this is a dream-come-true work environment for Elite Human Capital™️.
