A 106-upvote r/LocalLLaMA thread reports that Daya Guo, primary author of DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1 and one of DeepSeek's highest-profile researchers, has resigned. No official confirmation has emerged and web searches return no corroborating sources, keeping this at rumor status. The timing aligns with community observations that all major Chinese competitors have surpassed DeepSeek V3.2 while DeepSeek has gone quiet.
