Liang Wenfeng
Person
Executive
DeepSeek's founder — the quant who embarrassed the compute maximalists.
You're looking at a person record: who they are and the companies, models and ideas they're connected to.
Liang built the High-Flyer hedge fund on ML trading, stockpiled GPUs before the export bans, and spun up DeepSeek as a research-first lab whose V3/R1 releases delivered frontier capability at disclosed costs that shook markets. Rarely interviewed, he became the face of China's efficiency school overnight.
