DeepSeek has just participated in a strategic placement of YuTree Technology with approximately 141 million yuan. The head of the Harness team, Cui Tianyi, subsequently publicly criticized the description of DeepSeek in the related IPO materials.The materials claim that DeepSeek V4 "ranks among the top tier globally in performance, with programming capability only 0.3% weaker than Claude flagship." Cui Tianyi pointed out that in the V4 paper, only one SWE Verified score is close to Opus 4.6, with scores of 80.6 and 80.8 respectively, which cannot be directly generalized to mean that the overall programming capability is only 0.3% weaker.He sarcastically stated that such writing is hard not to be considered "pure fabrication." However, the criticism was aimed at the exaggerated statements in the intermediary materials.

According to Fortune magazine, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, stated that artificial intelligence is changing the way wealth is created, and businesses and individuals should not try to compete with machines but should leverage AI to amplify their own capabilities. In an interview, Saylor mentioned that he used ChatGPT to help Strategy design a preferred stock financing plan based on Bitcoin, ultimately enabling the company to raise about $15 billion through an IPO and related financing. He stated, "AI helped me create $15 billion."Saylor believes that the core advantage of the AI era is not to repeatedly execute tasks that machines can accomplish, but to ask better questions and use AI to explore new opportunities that were previously unattainable. "Don't try to work harder than robots." In recent years, Saylor has pushed Strategy to allocate Bitcoin on a large scale, transforming the company from a traditional software enterprise into a publicly traded company with Bitcoin as its core asset. Although this strategy comes with higher risks, Saylor stated that significant innovations often require enduring volatility and continuously adjusting direction. He noted that the successful entrepreneurs of the future will be those who can combine AI with human creativity, rather than individuals trying to replace AI in completing tasks.
