Tech commentator @teortaxesTex shared insights on DeepSeek's trajectory, arguing that the industry needs to accept that some players fundamentally do not want to build end-user "products."
He notes that while the industry occasionally gets sparks of AGI, new model primitives, or good papers from them, founder Liang Wenfeng explicitly wants to run a modern-day Bell Labs, necessitating self-funding for this vision.
