DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng receives a hero’s welcome back home
Founder Lian Wenfeng is praised as a hero in the South Chinese province of Guangdong, where he grew up and reportedly returned for the moon -new year, accompanied by bodyguards.
Wenfeng-Die, at 40, a billionaire is apparently even more loved by the local population because of his hedge fund, high-flyer-is after the breakthrough of Deepseek, which demonstrated that strong AI models can be built with less and less powerful Nvidia -chips. The finding has significant implications, especially in China, where access to the highest chips is limited.
Residents of his native country Tell the Financial Times That Wenseng was a “top student” who loved comic books, was a mathematics travel and came from a family of educators. According to a local, Wenseng also played some football. “We all grew up in this village,” the resident says the FT. “We are very proud of him.”
Despite his rising star, Wenseng has largely avoided public attention, frustrating those who like to learn more about him. Given the fate of high -flying Chinese CEOs such as Jack Ma And Pony ma – who was confronted with government control after getting a little too much visibility – don’t be surprised if Geenseng chooses to stay in the background.
