Intern, Earning 120,000 Monthly

An article titled "Intern, Monthly Income of 120,000 RMB" discusses the intense competition for top AI talent in China, highlighted by a viral social media post. A Tsinghua University student from the prestigious Yao Class reportedly received a staggering internship offer from the AI company DeepSeek with a daily salary of 5,500 RMB (pre-tax), translating to over 120,000 RMB per month. This case exemplifies the fierce "talent war" raging among major tech firms. Companies like DeepSeek, Huawei, Tencent, and ByteDance are aggressively recruiting interns and fresh graduates with unprecedented compensation packages, high conversion rates to full-time positions, and even company stock options for top performers like those in Moonshot AI's "Time Travel Plan." The trend shows recruitment starting earlier, even targeting high school students. The driving force is the belief that a few exceptional individuals can be pivotal in the AI race. Salaries for elite AI researchers have skyrocketed from around one million RMB annually to tens of millions. Young, highly-educated talents from top schools, seen as adaptable "AI Natives," are being placed at the forefront of core projects. Examples include Tencent appointing a 27-year-old former OpenAI researcher as its Chief AI Scientist. In essence, the competition is shifting from just models and computing power to a battle for talent density. A new generation of young experts is rapidly rising to central roles, poised to reshape the future AI landscape.

After Snagging a Nobel Laureate, Anthropic Poaches Berkeley CS Department Head, Recruiting Four Top Talents in Two Weeks

In a stunning move, Anthropic has recruited Jelani Nelson, the chair of UC Berkeley's prestigious EECS Computer Science Division and a leading theoretical computer scientist, on a leave of absence. This follows a two-week hiring spree where Anthropic also secured Nobel laureate John Jumper and two key Gemini researchers from Google. Nelson's expertise in streaming algorithms, dimensionality reduction, and randomized algorithms—fundamentally about processing vast data with minimal resources—directly addresses core challenges in large language models: training efficiency, data compression, and computational complexity. His work on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma underpins modern vector search and embedding compression. Anthropic's recruitment signals a strategic shift in the AI race from merely scaling models to optimizing foundational algorithms for efficiency. This "leave of absence" model, exemplified by figures like Fei-Fei Li, is becoming a mainstream talent pipeline, allowing scholars to retain academic positions while gaining industry access to unprecedented compute and real-world problems. The recent talent war has escalated from poaching between AI firms to raiding top university departments, with Berkeley being a prime target. As OpenAI and Anthropic near potential IPOs, offering pre-IPO equity, they are effectively becoming parallel research institutions. The competition's focus is now descending to the theoretical bedrock of algorithms.

Nobel Laureate Becomes New Employee at Anthropic

Nobel laureate and AlphaFold lead John Jumper has left Google DeepMind after nearly nine years to join AI company Anthropic. Jumper, who co-won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the protein-structure-predicting AI, led the AlphaFold project from its early stages, revolutionizing structural biology by predicting hundreds of millions of protein structures. His departure follows closely that of Transformer co-inventor Noam Shazeer, who recently left Google for OpenAI, marking a significant talent drain for the tech giant. Analysts suggest top AI researchers are seeking environments where individual impact can more directly shape a company's trajectory. Anthropic's hiring of Jumper signals a major push into AI for life sciences. The company recently acquired biotech firm Coefficient Bio and is building wet labs, aiming to drastically accelerate drug discovery and biomedical research. This move aligns with a broader trend, as OpenAI and Google DeepMind (via Isomorphic Labs) are also heavily investing in AI-driven biology and healthcare. The stage is now set for intensified competition among AI leaders to redefine life sciences through artificial intelligence.

After 10 Years, Altman Finally Has the Person He Wanted

After a decade of waiting, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has finally secured his desired collaborator: Noam Shazeer, a legendary AI researcher and co-author of the seminal "Attention Is All You Need" paper that introduced the Transformer architecture. Shazeer has announced his departure from Google to join OpenAI as Head of Architectural Research. Shazeer, a crucial early Google employee who returned to Google DeepMind in a high-profile $2.7 billion deal two years ago, confirmed his move on social media platform X. Altman expressed his long-standing desire to work with Shazeer, stating the 10-year wait would be worth it. OpenAI's research lead, Mark Chen, welcomed Shazeer, highlighting his foundational work on Transformer, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models, and efficient decoding, which have profoundly shaped modern AI. His departure is seen as a significant blow to Google's Gemini project, where he served as a technical co-lead. Industry observers note this move represents a major win for OpenAI in the ongoing AI talent war, with some quipping that OpenAI acquired his expertise "for free" after Google's massive investment.

US Media Reveals the Inside Story of Sora's Shutdown: Losing Millions Daily, User Base Halved, and Facing Talent Poaching from Competitors

OpenAI has abruptly shut down its Sora video-generation tool, a project once hailed as the next consumer AI frontier after ChatGPT. Initially launched with high expectations, including a major partnership with Disney, Sora allowed users to insert themselves into various video scenes. However, it quickly became a significant financial drain, reportedly losing about $1 million daily. Its user base peaked at roughly one million before halving, and it consumed excessive computational resources needed for OpenAI's core priorities, such as its upcoming "Spud" AI model and enterprise productivity tools. Facing stiff competition from rivals like Anthropic and a strategic shift towards AI agents and coding tools ahead of its IPO, OpenAI decided to reallocate resources. Key researchers behind Sora were also targeted in a Silicon Valley talent war, with Meta's CEO personally attempting to recruit them. The shutdown shocked Disney, which had planned to invest $1 billion and use Sora across its operations. The deal has now collapsed, and Disney is exploring other AI partnerships. OpenAI will focus its efforts on robotics and other long-term projects.

Encrypted Recruitment Cools: Why is the Solana Ecosystem Defying the Trend in the 'Talent War'?

The crypto recruitment market experienced a significant slowdown in early 2026, with new job postings dropping by approximately 80% compared to January 2025. Only 85-90 new positions were listed in the first two weeks of the year, with 60% being technical/engineering roles and 40% in business development. Companies are prioritizing experienced hires, with 65% of roles targeting senior-level professionals. Despite the overall cooling, growth-stage companies (Series A and beyond) remain active in hiring. Notably, the Solana ecosystem is challenging Ethereum’s historical dominance in talent acquisition, attracting over 22% of new crypto developers in 2024 compared to Ethereum’s 16%. Solana-based projects raised $211 million in Q3 2025, a 70% year-over-year increase, fueling further expansion. Looking ahead, the industry is expected to prioritize projects with strong fundamentals, real users, and revenue generation. The long-term outlook remains optimistic despite current market challenges.
