According to Fortune , billionaire Mark Zuckerberg seems to have personally participated in the recruitment campaign since April after Meta's latest AI model failed to meet expectations. The amount spent by the Facebook founder could be up to $100 million to recruit the best AI talent from OpenAI - the company behind the ChatGPT chatbot.
Meta has also recruited three other OpenAI experts who are working in the Zurich office: Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai. All of them worked at DeepMind before moving to OpenAI and helping to build the company's office in Switzerland late last year.
In May, the WSJ reported that Meta had delayed the release of its latest AI version. To turn things around, the tech giant went big, investing $14 billion in AI startup Scale and hiring CEO Alexandr Wang to lead its new AI team.
Four key researchers, Shengjia Zhao, Shuchao Bi, Jiahui Yu, and Hongyu Ren, have left OpenAI to join Meta's superintelligence team. Their internal Slack accounts at the company that owns ChatGPT have been deactivated.
Hongyu Ren led the post-training of OpenAI's o3 and o4 mini models, including the important fine-tuning step on large datasets.
Meanwhile, Shengjia Zhao is highly regarded in the field of deep learning and participated in building the GPT-4 model. Jiahui Yu is a former Google DeepMind employee who joined OpenAI in late 2023. Shuchao Bi is responsible for managing multimodal models at the company.
CEO Sam Altman himself confirmed that Meta has made huge offers with a total salary package of up to 100 million USD to attract personnel from OpenAI.
“None of our best people have said yes,” CEO Sam Altman said at an event on June 24. But he also acknowledged that Meta is a formidable competitor.
