"In fact, open source is more of a cultural behavior than a commercial one, and contributing to it earns us respect" [the founder] added.

I am now like double sure they have some sort of stake in overbloated AI centric US companies haha.

So, kind of interesting, Deepseek spawned off of a Chinese hedge fund named High-Flyer. As I understand it, they originally acquired their H800 array for crypto mining and decided to do this as a side project.

My theory is that they knew how its introduction and later releases would affect these US AI companies, so the hedge fund engineered all of this to buy the dip.
