Timeline (last 90 days)
DeepSeek research engineer Gao Xi said at the AI Wuzhen Dialogue at the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit that the core logic behind DeepSeek's firm choice of open source is to make AGI arrive sooner.
Gao Xi believes that no matter which company develops AGI, the technological transformation it brings will benefit all of humanity.
Gao Xi proposed that if a new method is discovered during research and development (such as a lower-cost training method or a better model structure), the most natural thing to do is to disclose it immediately so that more peers can participate in testing and verification.
Gao Xi stressed that technological innovation requires open discussion and verification, and that if the whole of society is delayed in obtaining the dividends of technology because of closed-source barriers, the loss would outweigh the gain.
Gao Xi believes that the benefits of the protection period brought by closed source are smaller than the cost of society as a whole obtaining technology dividends later, so DeepSeek chose open source.
