- Global Collaboration: The Atlantic emphasized DeepSeek’s unique approach to fostering an open development community, challenging conventional models of closed-door innovation.
- Industry Praise: At the 2025 World Economic Forum, Hugging Face CEO Clement Delangue commended DeepSeek for proving that openness and innovation can coexist, even amid complex geopolitical dynamics.
