Liang Wenfeng: The Most Important Thing Now Is Coding Agent, the Long-Term Goal Remains AGI
Odaily Odaily reports that, according to "elsewhere," it has compiled and organized 52 statements made by DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng during a previous meeting. Liang Wenfeng stated that DeepSeek currently has only one main line, which is the technical route towards AGI. Products are merely "byproducts" of this process. The most important direction at this stage remains the Coding Agent. Following that, the focus will be on solving continuous learning, before further achieving AI self-iteration and ultimately moving towards embodied intelligence.
In terms of commercialization, Liang Wenfeng indicated that DeepSeek does not pursue profit maximization, only obtaining reasonable profits. Open source and low pricing are both part of a "restrained" strategy. The goal is not to compete for more market share, but to increase the probability of ultimately achieving AGI. He also stated that DeepSeek has no intention of becoming the next super app, nor will it make directions such as 3D, video generation, or world models its current main focus.
When discussing major model competition, Liang Wenfeng believes that the future gap will mainly be reflected in cost, time, and user experience, with cost being the most important. He also added that maintaining team stability is the company's "only non-negotiable" matter.
