Waves: DeepSeek, right now, has a kind of idealistic aura reminiscent of the early days of OpenAI, and it’s open source. Will you change to closed source later on? Both OpenAI and Mistral moved from open-source to closed-source.
Liang Wenfeng: We will not change to closed source. We believe having a strong technical ecosystem first is more important.
