🚀 Andrew Tolosh.. The engineer who rejected 1.5 billion dollars from Zuckerberg!
In a bold move, Andrew Tolosh – one of the leading AI engineers – turned down a $1.5 billion offer from Mark Zuckerberg to return to Meta, preferring independence and working on his startup Thinking Machines Lab alongside Mira Morati.
🧠 Tolosh, nicknamed "the genius", contributed to the development of pivotal tools like PyTorch, and was involved in training GPT-4 at OpenAI.
🌍 His new company aims to build safe, transparent, and multimodal artificial intelligence.
💰 Although it has not launched a product yet, it raised an initial funding of $2 billion and a preliminary valuation of $12 billion!
📉 Rejecting Zuckerberg's offer is considered a rare stance reflecting the power of principles over capital in the age of artificial intelligence.
