Wenfeng Liang
梁文锋
Wenfeng Liang is the founder of DeepSeek and of High-Flyer Quant (幻方), the quantitative trading firm that preceded it. Per a 2023 暗涌Waves profile, after graduating he skipped the big-tech programmer track, holed up in a cheap rental in Chengdu working through repeated failed attempts across many scenarios, and finally cut into one of the most complex — finance — where he founded High-Flyer . DeepSeek, his later venture, released the R1 model , and by early 2026 Liang was being cited as the first AI foundation-model company representative invited to a premier's symposium, ahead of MiniMax's Junjie Yan . His own stated view, quoted in a 葬AI piece: "in AI, there is no real technical moat — organization and culture are the core competitiveness" .
Beyond this, elsewhere's corpus covers Liang mostly in passing rather than in dedicated profiles, so details like his education or DeepSeek's financing specifics aren't covered here.
