Chinese AI startup that 'shocked' biggest American tech companies is hiring big time
, the Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) startup based in Hangzhou, appears to be expanding its talent search beyond its borders, significantly increasing its recruitment efforts on LinkedIn. A report says that over the past week, the company posted 10 new positions on the Microsoft-owned professional networking platform, marking its first listings there in several months.
The job postings, written in Mandarin with detailed descriptions, include three roles specifically focused on
Artificial General Intelligence
(AGI). These positions are based in DeepSeek's Beijing and Hangzhou offices.
According to a report by Bloomberg, similar roles were posted on popular Chinese recruitment sites earlier in 2025, the increased activity on LinkedIn is notable. LinkedIn ceased operating a localised version of its platform in China in 2021, meaning many candidates viewing these listings would likely be based outside of the country.
Tech companies like Google, OpenAI and Meta increase 'AI hiring'
DeepSeek's move to attract global talent mirrors the aggressive recruitment strategies of its US rivals, such as
, OpenAI (developer of ChatGPT) and Meta Platforms. These companies are actively competing to secure top AI experts in the race to dominate the potentially world-changing field of artificial intelligence.
Recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the team that will lead the company's 'Superintelligence' lab. The team consists of former employees of companies like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, and will be lead by ScaleAI founder Alexandr Wang and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman.
Last year, Microsoft hired Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind – now part of Google – and Inflection, as CEO of Microsoft AI team. Elon Musk has, on several occasions, posted job opportunities for AI engineers to work in his AI comapby, xAI.

Google Veo 3 now available in India with a Gemini Pro subscription: Details
Google has begun rolling out Veo 3, its advanced text-to-video generation model, to Gemini app 'Pro' subscribers globally, including users in India. The update was confirmed by Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs and the Gemini app, who announced on X that the feature is now accessible to all Pro-tier users worldwide. Initially, Veo 3 access was limited to subscribers of Google's Ultra Plan and later expanded to Pro-tier in select regions. While India was not initially included in the supported regions, some users had already started seeing the Veo 3 option appear in their Gemini app—hinting at a possible expansion. Google has now officially confirmed its availability in the country. Subscription required for Veo 3 Veo 3 was originally launched for AI Ultra subscribers; now, it is also available with AI Pro subscription (which costs Rs 1,950 per month) through a lighter version called 'Veo 3 Fast.' This version continues to produce eight-second videos at 720p resolution, but thanks to backend optimisations, it delivers results twice as fast. Pro users can generate up to three Veo 3 Fast videos per day, after which access reverts to the previous Veo 2 model. Google's AI Ultra subscription is now also available in India, priced at Rs 24,500 per month. Google Veo 3 in Gemini app: How to generate videos Open the Gemini mobile app on your smartphone. Ensure you have an active Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription. In the text box, type a prompt describing the video you want to generate. Below the text box, tap More > Video > Submit. Videos generated using Veo 3 in the Gemini app are eight seconds long and include audio. To download the video, simply tap on the video and then select Download. Google Veo 3: What is new? Unveiled at Google's I/O event last month, Veo 3 is the company's most advanced video generation model yet. Unlike earlier versions, it can produce not just lifelike visuals from written prompts, but also synchronised audio—ranging from ambient background sounds to spoken dialogue. According to Google blog post: 'Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing. It's great at understanding; you can tell a short story in your prompt, and the model gives you back a clip that brings it to life.' Veo 3 also powers Flow, Google's AI filmmaking platform, which enables paid users to generate 1080p resolution videos, leverage advanced camera controls, extend existing footage, and more.

Only 15 electric vehicle brands in China will be financially viable by 2030, AlixPartners says
Only 15 out of the 129 brands that currently sell electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids in China will be financially viable by 2030, as intense competition forces consolidation and some to exit the market, consultancy AlixPartners said on Thursday. These 15 brands are projected to account for approximately 75% of China's EV and plug-in hybrid market by the end of the decade, each averaging annual sales of 1.02 million vehicles, AlixPartners said, without specifying brand names. However, consolidation in China is expected to proceed more slowly than in other markets, said Stephen Dyer, head of AlixPartners' automotive practice in Asia, because local governments may support non-viable brands due to their importance to regional economies, employment and supply chains. "China is one of the most competitive NEV (new energy vehicle) markets in the world, with intense price wars, rapid innovation, and new entrants constantly raising the bar," Dyer said. "This environment has driven remarkable advances in technology and cost efficiency, but it has also left many companies struggling to achieve sustainable profitability." China's automotive market, the world's largest, is currently facing a price war and significant overcapacity, both of which are straining profitability. Aside from BYD and Li Auto, no other publicly listed Chinese EV maker has achieved full-year profitability. Chinese regulators have called for automakers to halt the price war. However, Dyer said it would likely continue, but through "hidden" factors such as insurance subsidies and zero-interest financing rather than direct price cuts. The capacity utilisation ratio at Chinese car plants fell to an average of 50% in China last year, the lowest in a decade, pressuring profits.
