The city of Hangzhou in southern China is one of the main technological centers in the country and houses the revolutionary society of artificial intelligence (AI) Deepseek.
Consider Hangzhou as a Chinese version of Silicon Valley.
The seat of Deepseek is on the twelfth floor of a modern office building.

The security guard, Mr. Ma, says that in the past two weeks, the hall has been filled with people hoping to have an overview of the elusive founder of Deepseek, Liang Wenfeng.
“For the moment, we, as Chinese, are happy and proud, but the future is uncertain,” explains Mr. Ma.
Chinese vloggers, technological job seekers, journalists and public members have passed to try to visit the business, but he keeps a low profile.

Security told us that Liang Wenfeng has not been in the office for a few days.
He has gone to the ground since Deepseek made the headlines.
The company shocked the world when it launched its latest AI model and announced that it had built it for less than $ 6 million and without using the most advanced semiconductive fleas in the world.
If this is true, it upset the dominant opinion that China was very late in the AI breed.

Deepseek seems to have made huge progress in AI and the Chinese government is also careful.

Liang Wenfeng met Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang on the day of launching the AI application on January 20.
Deepseek is exactly the type of innovative business and culture that China has put pressure on a policy that it calls “new productive forces”.

Most advanced technological companies in China are strongly subsidized by local governments.
However, Deepseek is funded by the coverage company of Mr. Liang High Flyer.
Meanwhile, Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Guoqing attends the top of the Paris AI with other world leaders and technological bosses, including the US vice-president JD Vance and the director general of Openai Sam Altman, who spoke to Sky News on Monday morning.
He said China was willing to work with other countries to protect security and share achievements in the field of
Artificial intelligence to build “a community with a shared future for humanity”.
Hangzhou is home to dozens of high -tech companies, the most famous are called “six small dragons”.
One of them is deep robotics. He develops robot dogs and is the first Chinese company to deploy his dogs abroad (in Singapore) for industrial use.
Deep Robotics brand director Vera Huang told Sky News: “Hangzhou is focusing on the culture of technological talent, with excellent institutions such as the University of Zhejiang.”
Ms. Huang says that the government helps companies to develop and if they reach a so -called “little giant” status, they are eligible for state financing.
The United States is alarmed by the progress and prowess of Chinese AI. He tried to thwart his development by placing export controls on the most advanced semiconductive fleas.
But Deepseek found a bypass solution and said that she had built his model with inherited fleas.
US President Donald Trump said Deepseek’s development was “alarm clock”.
Well, the world woke up. What is not clear is how he will react.
