With DeepSeek V4 expected in April, a series of new job positions on the company's website reveal its strategic direction. DeepSeek is actively hiring Agent deep learning researchers, data evaluation experts, and infrastructure engineers. Notably, candidates must be proficient in Rust beyond conventional Python, and familiar with cutting-edge AI programming tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot.
Industry rumors suggest V4 will significantly enhance logical, mathematical, and programming capabilities, aiming to compete directly with Claude in practical programming performance. The frequent appearance of 'Agent' keywords indicates DeepSeek's goal is building intelligent agents capable of autonomous execution, not just improving conversation quality. While competitors like MiniMax and Moonshot AI are iterating rapidly, DeepSeek's efficiency and optimization for domestic hardware keep market expectations high for the April release.
