Kevin Xu of Interconnected and Interconnected Capital and I knock it out of the park with a roundup episode exploring:


  • What DeepSeek does and doesn't illustrate about Chinese innovation

  • Tensions between open-source cosmopolitanism and nationalism built into DeepSeek and the broader Chinese tech community

  • DeepSeek's organizational and talent management strategy, parallels to OpenAI, and what the fame will mean for the firm and Chinese AI policy

  • What DeepSeek should and may mean for the future of export controls and broader US innovation policy
