X user teortaxesTex joked that DeepSeek launches models at the end of the Chinese workday, noting the lab posted at 2:25 AM China Standard Time — 6:25 PM UTC, 11:25 AM in San Francisco.
"I guess we can take a break for 3.5 hours," he quipped, while also ribbing that Moonshot likes symbolics. The post captures how Chinese AI labs' unconventional release schedules land with overseas observers.
