DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, is aggressively expanding its team by hiring specialists in the field of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This move signals the company's rapidly growing ambitions in the AI sector.
DeepSeek is looking to fill various roles, including data experts, deep-learning researchers, and a legal chief, with some positions offering salaries ranging from $11k to $50k. The company is also open to hiring interns for $70 a day.
The startup's focus on AGI, which refers to AI that understands, learns, and applies knowledge across a range of tasks, is notable. This area of research is considered a sort of "Holy Grail" in the AI industry, with tech executives like OpenAI's Sam Altman and SoftBank's Masayoshi Son expressing interest in its development.
DeepSeek's hiring spree is part of its efforts to remain at the forefront of Chinese AI and compete with global rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Alphabet's Google.
