DeepSeek Opens 150 New Hires to Boost Agent Infrastructure

DeepSeek is hiring about 150 backend engineers, focusing on server-side development and Agent elastic computing. The new hires will contribute to large model research platforms, Agent frameworks, R&D infrastructure, APIs, online services, data engineering, and the underlying runtime environment for agents. Cui Tianyi, head of the DeepSeek Harness team, explained that the rapid growth in data, machines, containers, training tasks, evaluation tasks, Agent environments, users, and requests has outpaced the existing backend system, necessitating a large number of engineers to upgrade, maintain, and rewrite systems. A key focus is DSec, DeepSeek's elastic computing platform for agents, which allows agents to obtain isolated execution environments in batches when running code or calling tools. The DeepSeek-V4 technical report shows a single DSec cluster can already run hundreds of thousands of sandboxes simultaneously. The new positions will continue to optimize operating systems, virtual machines, networking, storage, and scheduling.

Stablecoin scale still depends on banks, not a path around them

A Decrypt opinion article argues that stablecoins are not replacing the banking system as they scale. Instead, firms handling institutional payment volume are embedding more deeply into bank infrastructure, local payment rails, foreign-exchange networks, and compliance frameworks. The piece points to Stripe’s $1.1 billion acquisition of Bridge, Citi’s planned crypto custody push, and Standard Chartered’s stablecoin settlement tests in Singapore as examples of how major operators are converging on the same model. The article breaks enterprise cross-border payments into three parts: local fiat collection, cross-border value transfer, and local fiat payout. Stablecoins can compress the middle leg to seconds when both institutions accept them, but the first and last legs still sit with banks. Citing FXC Intelligence, McKinsey, Artemis, and EY-Parthenon, the author says the real bottleneck is not blockchain settlement but the regulated infrastructure underneath it: bank connectivity, FX capability, local rails, licensing depth, and compliance. The piece also warns that relying on a single bank partner remains one of the most overlooked operational risks in crypto payments. The article was written by Bernardo Brites, co-founder and CEO of Trace Finance, who says the views reflect his own commercial perspective.
