DeepSeek observer teortaxesTex says a Zhihu post he shared — an unverified anecdote about Liang Wenfeng's budget bike-packing trips in college — was taken down by ByteDance. He argues this face-saving, critic-hunting culture means ByteDance won't build an internal DeepSeek, no matter how many GPUs it buys or talent it poaches.
