World's richest AI founder says his staff doesn't work overtime, no one manages them

Liang Wenfeng, CEO of Chinese AI startup DeepSeek and the world's richest AI founder, said his employees generally don't work overtime. "Research needs a relaxed environment. If you push too hard, you can't do research," he said. Wenfeng added that "no one manages" DeepSeek employees and they "can do whatever they want" for half of their workday.
