In a recent episode of the "Unfulfilled Promise" interview series, Zhipu AI CEO Zhang Peng, in a conversation with Zhang Xiaojun, commented on "DeepSeek's Liang Wenfeng choosing complete open-source," stating that Liang has thought it through very clearly. Firstly, he most likely does not want to engage in B2B services or similar activities; he is not short of funds and did not intend to earn significant money from this venture, which is a crucial point.

Secondly, he also possesses a very steadfast technical ideal and does not wish to divert his energy due to commercialization; it is better to concentrate efforts and resources on technological exploration. "I speculate, although I haven't had the honor of discussing this with him, whether this is the truth."
