Liang Wenfeng: The most important focus at this stage is the Coding Agent, with the long-term goal still being AGI

Odaily Planet Daily News – According to disclosures from 'elsewhere,' 52 statements made by DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng during a previous conference have been compiled. Liang Wenfeng stated that DeepSeek currently has only one main focus: the technical path toward AGI. Products are merely 'by-products' of this process. At this stage, the most critical direction remains the Coding Agent, followed by addressing continuous learning, further achieving AI self-iteration, and ultimately moving toward embodied intelligence. Regarding commercialization, Liang Wenfeng emphasized that DeepSeek does not pursue profit maximization but rather seeks reasonable profits. Open-source initiatives and low pricing are part of a 'restrained' strategy, aimed not at capturing more market share but at increasing the probability of ultimately achieving AGI. He also mentioned that DeepSeek has no intention of becoming the next super app and will not prioritize directions like 3D, video generation, or world modeling as its current focus. Discussing competition in large models, Liang Wenfeng believes that future differences will primarily lie in cost, time, and user experience, with cost being the most critical factor. He further stated that maintaining team stability is the company’s 'only non-negotiable' matter.
