Jeff Dean departure is 100% unexpected. It's impossible to process this.
And yes, it matters more than other exec shakeups today.

Many developers discovered that the native DeepSeek API has higher cache-hit rate than neocloud APIs hosting the same DS models.
My speculation is that DS aggressively kills its old models. It has released 18 models thus far, and only 2 are being served now (v4 pro and flash).
This is tough to customers who don't want to upgrade (migrate or leave), but effectively boost the serving capacity to the same model, i.e. more woods behind fewer arrows. posted an update 5 days ago
There has been a leaked memo (now struck down) from the founder of DeepSeek. I'm not here to circulate it, but comment on the minimum-effort evolutionary path he proposed.
LLM->CoT->Agent->Self-improvement->Singularity->Physical
This makes sense to me: even at the agent stage I learn world models much faster than when I learned LLM at the LLM stage.
But this means humans are still needed beyond the digital singularity, until robots can close their own loop: eval, manufacturing, self improvement, i.e. physical singularity.Organizations
