Addressing user complaints that DeepSeek's models are overfitted to specific environments and tools, a representative cited founder Liang Wenfeng's philosophy: the primary goal of their models is not universal usability, but utility for the developers themselves. Liang argued that once it is useful to them, they can iterate faster. This "internal tooling first" approach sparked discussion on model adaptability.
