About DeepSeek
DeepSeek is the Hangzhou-based lab whose DeepSeek-V3 and R1 reasoning releases proved that open-weight models could compete with the frontier at a fraction of typical training costs. Founded by quant-trading veteran Liang Wenfeng, it publishes model weights, technical reports, and a low-cost API that has reset industry pricing expectations.
