Founder and CEO of DeepSeek and co-founder of the High-Flyer hedge fund; the R1/V3 line reset open-weight model economics. Pinyin is Liáng Wénfēng: "Liang" is a single syllable, lyahng — not "lee-ANG" — and "Wenfeng" is wun-fung, with Wiktionary giving /li̯ɑŋ³⁵/, /wən³⁵/ and /fɤŋ⁵⁵/ for 梁文锋.

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
