Nvidia’s principal research scientist, Zhiding Yu, has praised former intern Zizheng Pan for his decision to join DeepSeek, a rising Chinese AI startup that has created havoc in the US tech market after becoming the most downloaded free app in the country. In a recent post on X, Yu talked about Pan’s bold choice to leave a potential full-time offer at Nvidia and take a chance on DeepSeek when it was still a small startup with just three members. This gamble has clearly paid off as DeepSeek is now being touted as a major competitor in the AI space.
Pan, who interned at Nvidia in the summer of 2023, has played a key role in DeepSeek’s breakthrough achievements including the development of DeepSeek-VL2, DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1. The latter, which researchers claim was developed for just $6 million, has achieved performance comparable to OpenAI’s o1 model which involved billions of dollars in investment.
“Zizheng was one of our interns at NVIDIA back in summer 2023. Later, when we were considering making him a FT offer, he chose to join DeepSeek without much hesitance. Back then, the DeepSeek multimodal team only had 3 people. I am still very much impressed by Zizheng’s decision at that time. He has been an important contributor of several important works at DeepSeek, including DeepSeek-VL2, DeepSeek-V3, and DeepSeek-R1. I am personally very happy for his decision and the great achievements," Yu wrote on X after resharing Pan’s post which featured a screenshot showing DeepSeek app surpassing OpenAI’s ChatGPT on the Apple Store.
Yu further highlighted how talent from China is making significant contributions to the global tech industry.
“Many of our best talents come from China, and these talents don’t have to succeed only in a US company. Instead, we learn a lot from them. The same Sputnik Moment has already happened in AV back in 2022, and it will continue to happen in the Robotics and LLM industry as well," he wrote.
Yu also warned against geo-political agendas in the tech world suggesting that focus should be on talent and innovation rather than political narratives.
“I love NVIDIA and want to see her as a continued major contributor to the path of AGI and general autonomy. But if we keep cooking up geo-political agendas and creating hostile opinions to Chinese researchers, we will shoot ourselves in the foot and lose even more competitiveness. We need more talent density, professionalism, learning, creativity and stronger execution. We don’t need political narratives and clowns like Alexandr Wang," he concluded.
