Summary

Analyzes hiring data across major AI labs to infer strategic directions, noting xAI's focus on scientific tutors, Nvidia's data center push, and OpenAI's engineering growth.

Been digging into public hiring patterns across the major AI labs, sorted job postings by role category instead of just headcount, and a few things stood out. xAI has 65 roles for biology tutor, physics tutor, chemistry tutor. They're hiring scientists to teach the model scientific reasoning directly. Nvidia has 218 roles in data center power and GPU architecture, odd for a chip company. Looks like a move into full datacenter buildout, going head to head with AWS and Google more directly. OpenAI's growth skews software engineering (198 of 627 open roles). Anthropic leans more toward enterprise sales and research relative to engineering. https://preview.redd.it/4qb682o2p29h1.png?width=3066&format=png&auto=webp&s=069d86876b59584d4a0fb7a717f27f4442ec07ca
