Moonshot AI Proves Highly Attractive to Talent

This post shares an anecdote about Moonshot AI's hiring: a student uncertain about their research career emailed and messaged a professor multiple times with no response, but Zhilin eventually replied, asking if they wanted to train large models at Moonshot AI.
The original poster emphasizes that this willingness to reply and offer opportunities even to students with "almost no portfolio" shows how eager Kimi/Moonshot is for talent. The reposter found the story deeply inspiring.
