Meta's $100 Million AI Talent Push Fails to Lure OpenAI Researchers

  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on the Uncapped podcast on Tuesday that Meta offered $100 million signing bonuses to his top AI staff but none have left.
  • This talent competition follows Meta's efforts to recruit from OpenAI and Google DeepMind as it builds a new AI superintelligence team led by Alexandr Wang.
  • Meta delayed its latest flagship AI model amid capability concerns while OpenAI plans to release an open AI model soon and explores AI-powered social media apps.
  • Reports show Meta offers compensation well above $100 million per year, aiming to rival OpenAI's culture focused on innovation and achieving artificial general intelligence.
  • Altman suggested Meta’s compensation-based strategy has so far failed to attract OpenAI’s top talent, implying that mission-driven innovation sustains retention amidst intense AI industry rivalry.
