He suggested open models might lead to AI becoming a state-provided "digital public infrastructure." Meanwhile, DeepSeek is reportedly implementing a scoring mechanism for existing employees to approve high salaries for new interns, addressing potential pay inversion. In personnel news, Lu Siyuan, head of AI infrastructure at Xpeng Motors, is leaving to join OpenAI to work on embodied AI robots. AI
