The Dark Side of the Moon Attracts Research Talent, Valuing Both Fame and Profit

Chinese AI companies are fiercely competing for research talent, with well-funded large firms continuously poaching from startups. The Dark Side of the Moon has managed to retain a strong and stable research team domestically. The founding members are acquainted with Yang Zhilin from Tsinghua University or Carnegie Mellon University, and their long-term collaboration in learning and research has made the team more stable. After the release of DeepSeek R1, Yang Zhilin believed the company had invested too early in commercialization and decided to refocus resources on training models, making the main model open source. As a result, researchers can publish their findings, gain personal credit, and build their industry reputation. The Dark Side of the Moon attracts talent with cutting-edge research and leaves researchers with their names through open source. For researchers who value papers, technical influence, and personal reputation, this is more appealing than simply joining a large firm to work on commercial projects.
