Stanford, Harvard grads seek China AI startup jobs

Graduates from top US schools including Harvard University and Stanford University are flooding an up-and-coming Chinese AI startup with resumes after DeepSeek's debut earlier this year helped elevate the profiles of fellow emerging technology builders in China.

That's a sea change from years past, when it was challenging to hire engineers even from Chinese universities, said Victor Huang, co-founder and chairman of Manycore Tech.

The fortune of the startup took a turn for the better after it was labeled as one of the "Six Dragons" of the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou together with DeepSeek, whose lower cost AI model stunned the global AI industry in January, and Manycore has found it easier to attract candidates since, according to Huang.

"It's totally changed" in the past two months, Huang told Bloomberg Television.
