Meta continues to poach AI talent from OpenAI
The CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, recruited three new OpenAI researchers to work with his “superintelligence” team. This move came just days after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman accused Meta of attempting to poach his company’s employees.
Altman also said Meta had given its employees $100 million bonuses to recruit them. According to reports, the recruits — Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai — were previously based at OpenAI’s Zurich office.
Meta swings to become the leader in AI
An OpenAI spokesman confirmed that the three employees had left the company but gave no additional details. Meta did not immediately comment on the hirings.
Meanwhile, despite being seen as a leader in open-source AI, Meta has faced talent losses and setbacks in rolling out new models to rival those from Google, OpenAI, and China’s DeepSeek.
Altman mentioned hearing that Meta views them as their main rival.
Recently, Meta brought on board 28-year-old Alexandr Wang, the CEO of Scale AI, to focus on its “superintelligence” projects. The company also invested $14.3 billion to acquire a 49% share in Scale AI.
