Not a terrible poem, compliments. As for the claimed lofty developer ideals seemingly driving DeepSeek's quant fund, it doesn't hurt a bit that open source is *magnitudes* cheaper than when trying to develop a stock picker with proprietary, closed offerings. My guess is that DeepSeek couldn't get to the next level of funding necessary for progress without making a public splash - the only way to get to IPO level support under 'Xi' these days.

A lot of the power of open source is as a way of collaborating. I haven't heard that outside contributions would or could be accepted.

A bit like Ferrari building autos to go racing. Or is it a hedge to build a competitive advantage? But then why give it away? I appreciate another interesting angle in your story . Deepseek may not just be limited by foreign GPU restrictions but also the Chinese government. Very interesting indeed ๐Ÿ˜
