Woofun AI reports that Liang Wenfeng, founder of DeepSeek, clarified the company's strategic direction during a recent investor meeting. He stated that the primary objective is achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) rather than developing a super app, explicitly ruling out engagement in 3D, video generation, or world modeling. Liang emphasized that maintaining open source code is a deliberate strategy to increase the probability of reaching AGI, viewing current products merely as by-products. The immediate focus remains on Coding Agents and continuous learning capabilities, with future phases targeting autonomous model iteration and embodied intelligence.

Regarding commercialization, Liang noted that DeepSeek seeks only "reasonable profits" and is not yet fully shifted toward commercial operations. He assessed that the gap between Chinese and U.S. AI capabilities stems from resource disparities rather than talent, suggesting that increased computing power could narrow this divide to three or six months. On industry dynamics, he identified open source as the optimal position for companies of their scale and predicted that domestic large models would eventually consolidate into "two large companies and two small companies." He concluded that team stability and a shared vision are the core principles driving the organization.
