Claim
He says that video models and world models have no relation to the intelligence ceiling, so DeepSeek isn't interested in them.
Correction

The transcript supports a strong dismissal of video generation, but not this same categorical claim about world models. On world models, Liang says they are 'not the most important thing at this stage,' which is narrower than saying they have 'no relation' to intelligence.

Full reasoning

The post collapses two different statements from the transcript into one stronger claim.

According to the leaked transcript, Liang says:

  • about video generation: it is not on DeepSeek's AGI main line, and "it has nothing to do with" the intelligence roadmap;
  • about world models: they are "not the most important thing at this stage", with AI training and continual learning taking priority.

That is not the same as saying both video models and world models "have no relation to the intelligence ceiling."

So the post overstates Liang's position on world models. His comment there is qualified and time-bound ("at this stage"), not an absolute dismissal.
