Chinese AI founder Anthropic and OpenAI complained about is now richest AI billionaire
Liang Wenfeng, founder of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, has become the world's richest AI model startup founder with a net worth of $36 billion following a recent funding round. This rise comes amid complaints from US AI companies, including Anthropic, about DeepSeek's model usage practices. The company's valuation soared significantly, driven by its AI model performance and development costs, while Liang maintains a majority ownership stake.
