Everyone was treating it like some kind of tech pilgrimage, forwarding it non-stop in WhatsApp and Telegram groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"6\">I took the time to read through the whole thing, and honestly? It’s damn solid. I’ve summarized the most quoted parts below, and let me tell you, his final point hit me right in the feels because it perfectly validates how I’ve always approached building products.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 data-path-to-node=\"7\">On AI Replacing Us and the Big Boys' Race\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"8\">First off, Liang made a very practical point: AI isn’t going to just replace employees. Humans can learn continuously in the background, but for AI to do the same task, you have to feed it the entire context every single time. It’s almost impossible. For a normal person, what they really need isn’t just a computer; they need actual human labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"9\">He also talked about the LLM race. People saying Anthropic has overtaken OpenAI? He thinks it's just a temporary phase. Moving forward, OpenAI and Google will probably just take turns leapfrogging each other. As for the domestic scene in China, where so many companies are \u003Ci data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"273\">chionging\u003C\u002Fi> to build the exact same foundation models, he believes the market will definitely consolidate over time. Just need a bit of patience to let the dust settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 data-path-to-node=\"10\">Work Culture and the Open-Source Endgame\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"11\">This part I really respect. He mentioned they generally don’t do OT (overtime). Why? Because research requires a relaxed environment. They are hyper-focused. A lot of their products are actually imperfect, but they don’t just simply patch them up for the sake of it—it’s a culture of restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"12\">And his view on open source is so big-picture. AI is huge; it might eventually take up 10% of human GDP. If you try to be \u003Ci data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"122\">kiasu\u003C\u002Fi> and monopolize all the benefits for yourself, history will just abandon you. It’s an objective law. Plus, selling APIs isn't even that attractive to them. Just put a few guys to maintain it, don't even need customer service, and the users will naturally come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 data-path-to-node=\"13\">The Ultimate Truth: Build For Yourself First\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"14\">But the absolute kicker—the quote that made me want to stand up and clap—was his vision for their next-generation models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"15\">He said he hopes their next model can directly help \u003Ci data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"52\">their own\u003C\u002Fi> development. Simply put, the primary goal of their model isn't just \"to make it easy for everyone else to use\", but \u003Cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"178\">\u003Cstrong>\"to make it damn good for ourselves to use\"\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fb>. He believes this is the fastest path to AGI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"16\">\u003Ci data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Swee lah!\u003C\u002Fi> This is exactly what I have been saying since day one! My core product philosophy has always been this: \u003Cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"114\">\u003Cstrong>if you want to build a great product, you must be your own superuser first.\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"17\">If you are building an app, a modular platform, or an AI feature, and you don’t even use it yourself daily, how can you expect the market to love it? Whenever I look at app architecture or product design, I always insist that it must solve my own pain points first. You have to eat your own dog food. When you build something that actually makes \u003Ci data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"346\">your\u003C\u002Fi> own life or work 10x better—when the product is so good you genuinely rely on it—the commercialization, the retention metrics, and the users will naturally follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp data-path-to-node=\"18\">DeepSeek gets it. The real shortcut to building a world-class product isn't chasing what you think others want; it's building what you yourself desperately need.\u003C\u002Fp>","DeepSeek, Liang Wenfeng, AI models, AGI, OpenAI vs Google, Open Source AI, Product Philosophy, Dogfooding, Startup Culture, Tech Insights",3264,"zh_CN","Overnight, my entire network—from VC friends to fellow tech bros—all went totally siao sharing the n...",18,{"emailStatusOk":14,"statusLocked":14,"mobileStatusOk":14,"nickname":11,"statusReg":14,"id":22,"created":24,"sourceString":25,"avatar":26,"url":27,"statusOk":14,"detailUrl":28,"username":29},"2025-12-29 12:22:32","","\u002Fstatic\u002Fcommons\u002Fimg\u002Favatar.png","\u002Fuser\u002F18","\u002Fadmin\u002Fuser\u002Fdetail\u002F18","panhb",null,{"prev":32,"next":37},{"id":33,"slug":34,"title":35,"categoryId":36},11227,"f7830d-blind-date-rejection-viral-makeover","Beyond the Frames: When a Blind Date Rejection Sparks a Viral Makeover and Comment Section Chaos",72,{"id":38,"slug":39,"title":40,"categoryId":36},11224,"1528b1-dance-fitness-body-positivity-online-narrative","Beyond the Scale: How One Woman’s Dance Redefined Fitness Narratives Online",[42,47,52,57],{"id":43,"slug":44,"title":45,"thumbnail":46,"categoryId":36},11541,"559536-viral-selfie-celebrity-doppelganger","Wink or Glitch?
