Meta Offers $100 Million Bonuses to Poach OpenAI Talent Amid AI Race
Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly offering up to $100 million bonuses to lure AI engineers from OpenAI to bolster Meta's struggling AI efforts, amid intense competition in the AI race. Despite Meta's aggressive recruitment, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman notes that such poaching hasn't succeeded yet, and questions whether buying talent can foster true innovation. Meta aims to fill 50 AI positions, including hiring from DeepMind, as it tries to catch up in the AI development race.
