Liang Wenfeng

Liang Wenfeng is the co-founder of High-Flyer Quant, a private quantitative fund based in China, and is the individual who financed and founded DeepSeek, the AI research lab that released a series of large language models beginning in 2024. High-Flyer Quant is one of China's largest systematic quantitative funds, and its transition to a long-only systematic strategy has been documented in financial press coverage. DeepSeek's open-weight models and low training-cost claims have been widely discussed in the AI research community. Liang's dual role in both quantitative finance and AI research is unusual in the industry and has been the subject of analysis in both domains.
