Liang Wenfeng: The strongest model will also be open sourced because we cannot see the benefits of closed source According to a report by Golden Finance on July 23rd, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng stated at a recent investor exchange that "I think we will open source, and our strongest model may also be open source. Because I don't see any benefits of closing the source. Even if the model is open source, you have to tell others everything, and the threshold is very high. If others want to use it, the threshold is also very high. If we only make six times the profit, open source will not have any impact. But if you want to make one hundred times the profit, open source will indeed affect you to make one hundred times the profit. We were originally open source, so we won't do anything just because you're a competitor. This is already a part of open source. I'm not worried about others deploying our model to compete with us, I also hope they can deploy it. I'm just worried that he won't be able to deploy it, some details may not be done correctly, the effect may deteriorate, or the cost may be relatively high. The open-source model we provided is the same as the model we deployed ourselves. We won't open source a flawed model and then deploy it ourselves with a better model. Last year, for the whole year, I basically opened source on the C-end, and I didn't see any conflicts with the services on the C-end
