Meta And Deepseek Compete For AI Talent

Edited by: S Света

In 2025, the artificial intelligence (AI) sector is experiencing heightened competition for top talent. Meta Platforms, led by Mark Zuckerberg, has launched Meta Superintelligence Labs to boost its AI capabilities.

Meta is aggressively recruiting, offering substantial compensation packages to attract elite AI professionals. This strategy has led to key hires from competitors, including Daniel Gross from Safe Superintelligence (SSI) and Ruoming Pang from Apple.

Concurrently, China's AI startup DeepSeek is expanding its team to enhance its AI research and development. DeepSeek is actively recruiting globally, focusing on artificial general intelligence (AGI) and large language models, challenging the dominance of U.S. tech firms.
