Gate News reports that on March 17, xAI gradually announced multiple job openings on its official website, recruiting bankers, portfolio managers, traders, and credit analysts from Wall Street to join its data annotation team for training Grok. The recruitment areas include financial modeling, leveraged loan underwriting, distressed debt investing, as well as specialized categories such as MBS (Mortgage-Backed Securities) and CLO (Collateralized Loan Obligations), with additional focus on crypto and stock markets. xAI will particularly concentrate on expanding training data for the credit market, which is currently under pressure due to redemptions from private credit funds. The company refers to these training personnel as “AI mentors,” responsible for inputting data into Grok and adjusting its responses. The team is led by Diego Pasini, a young professional who joined the company shortly after graduating high school and has been working at xAI for over a year. Pasini stated at a staff meeting last month that “training data is a major bottleneck,” noting that Grok currently relies heavily on data from Elon Musk’s social platform X. Musk recently admitted at a conference that xAI lags behind competitors in programming capabilities, which has historically been a primary revenue source for OpenAI and Anthropic. Last week, xAI poached two executives from AI programming tool Cursor, which is currently seeking a new funding round at a valuation of $50 billion. Both OpenAI and Anthropic have released tools aimed at finance professionals, focusing on market analysis and investment memo generation. xAI is generally considered behind competitors in expanding its business client base, with its revenue mainly derived from collaborations with Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX.
