The ceo:

> In the face of disruptive technologies, moats created by closed source are temporary. Even OpenAI’s closed source approach can’t prevent others from catching up. So we anchor our value in our team — our colleagues grow through this process, accumulate know-how, and form an organization and culture capable of innovation. That’s our moat.



What are they doing with all that knowledge though? How are they going to make money?


They don't seem too worried about money at the moment. They run a successful quant hedge fund which provides money and apparently their API charges cover the cost of running their machines. Re what they are going to do:

>Providing cloud services isn’t our main goal. Our ultimate goal is still to achieve AGI.

It's kind of ironic that they seem to be doing what OpenAI was set up to do before Altman changed it to closed AI. The quotes are from https://www.chinatalk.media/p/deepseek-ceo-interview-with-ch...


Moats come from first the best model, and next is UI, then infrastructure
