DeepSeek, the Chinese startup that stunned markets with an AI model on par with OpenAI’s, is aggressively recruiting specialists for a little-understood industry sphere in a signal of its rapidly expanding ambitions.
The company advertised over the weekend for at least a half-dozen jobs focused on the frontier field of AGI or artificial general intelligence, from data experts and deep-learning researchers to a legal chief — even an intern for $70 a day. The roles are mainly located in Beijing though some will be based out of the startup’s home city of Hangzhou in eastern China.
