A visitor claims to have toured DeepSeek and chatted with Liang Wenfeng, calling him a true believer who has gathered like-minded people, and hints at a "big fat fish" (major release) by year-end. The phrase "charge towards the Milky Way" is read as a possible codename or roadmap metaphor beyond the rumored "Astra" project. Unconfirmed rumor.
