Pavel Durov认为DeepSeek的成功源于教育！

近期DeepSeek大火，Pavel Durov在社交媒体分享了自己的观点：归功于理工科教育和人才培养体系！

⭐ Happy Chinese New Year!  

⭐新春快乐！

Following the success of the Chinese startup DeepSeek, many are surprised at how quickly China has caught up with the US in AI. However, China’s progress in algorithmic efficiency hasn't come out of nothing. Chinese students have long outperformed others in math and programming at international olympiads 🏆  

随着中国初创公司深度求索(DeepSeek)的成功，许多人惊讶于中国在AI领域追赶美国的速度。但中国在算法效率上的突破绝非偶然——长期以来，中国学生在国际数学/信息学奥林匹克竞赛中始终占据优势地位🏆

When it comes to producing outstanding performers in math and science, China's secondary education system is superior to that of the West. It fosters fierce competition among students, a principle borrowed from the highly efficient Soviet model 🎖  

在培养数理精英方面，中国中学教育体系明显优于西方。其通过类似苏联模式的竞赛体系，在校园中营造激烈竞争氛围🎖

In contrast, most Western schools discourage competition, prohibiting public announcements of students' grades and rankings. The rationale is understandable — to protect students from pressure or ridicule. However, such measures also predictably demotivate the best students. Victory and defeat are two sides of the same coin. Eliminate the losers — and you eliminate the winners ☯️  

相比之下，绝大多数西方学校刻意淡化竞争，禁止公布学生成绩排名。初衷虽好——为避免学生承受压力或遭遇嘲笑。但这类措施必然导致最优秀学生失去奋进动力。胜利与失败是一体两面。抹去失败者——就等于抹去胜利者☯️

For many students, motivation to excel in high school comes from treating it as a competitive game, striving to rank first against strong opponents. Removing transparency in student performance can make school feel meaningless for ambitious teenagers. It’s not surprising that many gifted kids now find competitive gaming more exciting than academics — at least in video games, they can see how each player ranks 😵  

对很多学生而言，在中学阶段追求卓越的动力，恰恰来自将学业视为竞技游戏，渴望在强者如云的环境中登顶。当学业表现失去透明度，对胸怀大志的少年而言，校园生活就会丧失意义。难怪如今许多天赋异禀的孩子觉得电竞比读书更刺激——至少在游戏世界里，他们能看清每个玩家的段位😵

Telling all students they are champions, regardless of performance, may seem kind — until you consider how quickly reality will shatter this illusion after graduation. Reality, unlike well-meaning school policies, does have public grades and rankings — whether in sports, business, science, or technology. AI benchmarks that demonstrate DeepSeek's superiority are one of such public rankings. And more are coming. Unless the US secondary education system undergoes radical reform, China’s growing dominance in technology seems inevitable 🇨🇳  

告诉所有学生"你们都是冠军"看似仁慈——直到毕业后现实会迅速击碎这种幻觉。与充满善意的校园政策不同，现实世界永远存在公开的成绩单：不论是体育竞技、商业竞争还是科技比拼。深度求索在AI基准测试中的优异成绩，正是这种公开排名的体现。未来还会有更多这样的榜单。除非美国中学教育进行彻底改革，否则中国在科技领域日益增强的主导地位似乎已成定局🇨🇳
