Liang Wenfeng debuts on Hurun Rich List at No. 7 with 280 billion yuan, considering whether DeepSeek should enter embodied intelligence

DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng debuted on the 2026 Hurun Rich List at No. 7 with 280 billion yuan in wealth, leading this year's newcomers. He has recently focused intensively on the embodied intelligence field and spoken with multiple entrepreneurs, and is considering whether DeepSeek should move further into this track; options may include forming a team himself or entering through investment. People familiar with the matter said he judges that DeepSeek still lags GPT-6 in some capability dimensions, and that scaling language models alone may not be enough to support AGI competition.
