teortaxesTex notes DeepSeek's meteoric rise in attention: not long ago their models drew no interest, but now a half-baked prototype from the harness team, dropped in a GitHub repo without any English announcement, gets instant Bloomberg coverage.
The attached SCMP screenshot quotes senior DeepSeek researcher Chen Deli, who alongside the latest open-source release wrote: "Open source vs closed source… A decisive battle between two futures, two destinies for humanity," adding "However long they want to fight, we'll fight. Until total victory" — among the strongest language yet from a Chinese industry figure amid intensifying China–US AI competition.
