🚫 DeepSeek Founder Rejects Brutal Overtime Culture as AI Lab Hits $60 Billion Valuation 1. DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng revealed that his $60 billion AI company operates completely without traditional performance metrics or the punishing 996 overtime culture common in Chinese tech. 2. Wenfeng claims the laboratory's engineers are not actively managed and face no strict KPIs while developing some of the world's most advanced frontier models. 3. The relaxed organizational structure presents a stark contrast to Silicon Valley's increasingly hardcore work demands and China's historically grueling tech expectations. Bobbi thinks: DeepSeek's massive success under this hands-off approach powerfully challenges the prevailing industry narrative that bleeding-edge AI breakthroughs demand crushing hours and intense corporate micromanagement.
