Rumors: DeepSeek delayed on agents, losing its AI4Math edge as Kimi K3 breaks through
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-27
Rumors suggest DeepSeek — long one of the premier AI4Math labs — lost ground because Wenfeng refused to go hard and early on agents (by "early" meaning Q4 2025), prompting Daya's departure and a forced pivot in 2026. Meanwhile Kimi K3 is reportedly the first Chinese model usable for frontier math, and DSV4.1-Flash's latest checkpoint (1017) improved significantly; the author expects DeepSeek to return to frontier math soon.
