DeepSeek is getting a bit carried away in the talent war. In 2026, AI talent is extremely scarce, especially compound talents like Li Bojie who have both top conference papers and engineering experience at a major company like Huawei. If I were the interviewer, I would treat them like treasure. Yet it ended up like this – a typical case of immature processes combined with uneven interviewer quality. In the current AI circle, there are only a handful of top talents. Companies are competing fiercely for talent, but the interview process of good companies should be more professional and respectful of talent. After all, DeepSeek is a top domestic AI giant. It is really inexcusable to tarnish its own brand due to the interviewer's actions. Note: Li Bojie entered the Special Class for the Gifted Young of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2010 for his undergraduate studies. From 2014 to 2019, he completed his doctoral studies in a joint training program between USTC and Microsoft Research Asia. His research focuses mainly on network systems and reconfigurable hardware, such as the application of FPGAs in data centers. He has received honors including the Microsoft Research Asia Fellowship, ACM China Doctoral Dissertation Award, and the President's Scholarship of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2019, as one of the first batch of Huawei's 'Genius Youth' program members, he joined the Central Software Institute of Huawei's 2012 Laboratories, serving successively as an Assistant Scientist and Deputy Chief Expert in the Computer Network and Protocol Laboratory.
