Reports say DeepSeek plans to expand its team to 1,000 people this year, just two months after announcing a doubling of its entire workforce.

动察 Beating AI Flash: A frontline institutional investor revealed that DeepSeek's goal this year is to expand its team to approximately 1,000 people. DeepSeek has not publicly confirmed this figure, but the expansion has already begun. In June, the company announced plans to at least double the size of all departments, and this week it opened up around 150 recruitment slots for backend and Agent infrastructure positions at once.

This round of expansion is no longer solely focused on model research. The latest job postings now cover large model research platforms, Agent frameworks, APIs, online services, data engineering, and elastic computing. Cui Tianyi, head of the Harness team, stated that data, machines, training and evaluation tasks, Agent environments, and user requests are all growing rapidly, requiring continuous upgrades or even rewrites of the existing backend systems.
