Kimi's talent battle style: not only give money, but also allow researchers to earn both fame and fortune

Comparative news, according to monitoring, Chinese AI companies are fiercely competing for research talents, and large companies with strong capital continue to recruit people from startups. According to the Financial Times, the dark side of the Moon has preserved a strong and stable domestic research team. Many of the founding members met Yang Zhilin at Tsinghua University or Carnegie Mellon University. Long-term joint study and research have made the team more stable than a temporary star lineup. After DeepSeek R1 was released, Yang Zhilin believed that the company had invested in commercialization too early and decided to refocus resources to train the model and open source the main model. As a result, researchers can publish results, obtain personal signatures, and industry reputation. The Dark Side of the Moon uses cutting-edge research to attract talents, and then uses open source to name researchers. For researchers who value papers, technical influence, and personal reputation, this is more appealing than simply joining a major company to do commercial projects.
