DeepSeek CEO: AGI, Not Revenue, Is Our Mission

DeepSeek CEO Liang Wenfeng has publicly shared his views on the future of AI, setting a clear goal for his company. Unlike some Western AI leaders, Liang states his primary focus is Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, not revenue. He believes DeepSeek exists for humanity's benefit, calling revenue "sesame seeds" compared to the larger "watermelons" of future potential. Liang also dismissed the idea of an IPO for DeepSeek, stating the company's original intention was not about making money or going public. He emphasizes that a company's vision is shown through its operations, not just words. This perspective offers a different approach to AI development compared to some companies focused on enterprise users and financial returns.
