DeepSeek is pushing to at least double the headcount in every department while it recruits for AGI work, listing more than 30 roles across seven areas that include research, algorithms, full-stack engineering, and operations, mostly in Beijing and Hangzhou.
«Today, humanity is on the eve of AGI. Join DeepSeek, witness the evolution of AGI, sit in the front row of the times, and witness the birth of a new era. As technology evolves, we are actively working to expand the scale of all our departments by at least double. […] We never search for "geniuses." As long as you have a shining quality within you, you are the person we are looking for.»
deepseek 看来是要猛猛发力了，在现有团队规模基础上至少扩大一倍😲
The drive targets campus interns and full-time hires who will tackle core AGI problems themselves rather than waiting for traditional genius hires.
No baseline headcount or completion date for the doubling is provided, leaving the final scale of the expansion unclear for now.
Many users praise DeepSeek's aggressive expansion and serious AGI hiring focus as inspiring and efficient compared to other labs, while some dismiss the announcement language.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.

We never look for geniuses. We only look for people who can shine with their own light. You are the talent we’re looking for.
Welcome to join DeepSeek and explore the unknown together.'
Translation of @deepseek_ai's entire recruitment post "At least double all departments" implies more than doubling the whole org, I expect them to exceed 1000 members soon. Accordingly they're no longer a mythical story but a real destination I hope many of my moots apply…

@deepseek_ai Some of the most interesting positions Deli says his Autoresearch is just personal fancy, but I think he's being cute. They will pursue "self-evolution" on the company level too. Continual learning is explicitly stated as a target in V4. By V5 they'll report some progress.

@deepseek_ai V3 announced "breaking through the limits of transformer architecture" and "unlimited context". V4 made 1M context cheap, but it's still a transformer and not really unlimited. You could probably extend it to 10M, or vastly more with RLM-type tricks, but still. I expect similar

Just realized that may have made a super long post if you are browsing X in certain ways, sorry. They always compress in app, one of the things that actually works.

Happy to see the plucky little whale growing into a Leviathan Not so long ago, they had fewer X followers than me (and I had like 8K). In the not so distant future, their compute capacity will be measured in gigawatts. The essential question shall be answered with long-termism…
@teortaxesTex Doubling team size usually slows down shipping speed because of communication overhead.
How do you keep development fast with twice the raw headcount?

@teortaxesTex @deepseek_ai Maybe im way off here but is it possible they are experimenting with self learning on the web chat.
@AndrewCurran_ i am guessing the conditions are still the same, no foreign hire especially remotely?
@sheriyuo deepseek
@AndrewCurran_ Microsoft Copilot will be a fascinating experiment in 🪙tokenmaxxing for the West
@VK_ROXy Anthropic manages
@AndrewCurran_ disagree but curious to learn
@teortaxesTex @deepseek_ai v4.1 when?
@AndrewCurran_ They’re getting serious. Last I checked their funding was 100X lower than top AI labs.
@AndrewCurran_
@AndrewCurran_ They get it. •
