Meta Platform has tried to attract the highest Openai talent with signature bonuses to $ 100 million and even more generous annual compensation promises, according to Openai CEO SAM Altman.
“They (finish) started giant offers to a lot of people on our team,” Altman said to the “without covering” podcast on Tuesday.
“You know, as the $ 100 million signature bonuses, more than that (in) compensation a year.”
Despite aggressive recruitment efforts, Altman said that “at least so far, none of our best people has decided to take them.”
The publication has sought Meta and Openai comments.
Altman framed poaching attempts as part of a broader and more intensifying battle for Ai elite talent, comparing the current climate with the frenzy of professional sports agents.
“I have heard that Meta thinks of us as his greatest competitor,” he said.
“Their current efforts of the I have not worked as well as they have expected and respect to be aggressive and continue to try new things.”
The comments come at a fundamental time in the artificial intelligence strategy of the finish line. The company has recently invested $ 14.3 billion in a scale AI and hired the startup founder Alexandr Wang to lead a new “Superintelligence” division.
The “Adquihire” agreement so unpleasant included a 49% participation in the AI at a scale, and saw that a good handful of Wang colleagues followed it to the finish line.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been a personal interest in accelerating the company’s AI abilities.
According to Bloomberg, Zuckerberg has participated directly in high -profile recruitment, including the recent hiring of Jack Rae, a Deepmind’s leading researcher, Google’s AI Research Laboratory.
Altman, however, wondered whether to launch big sums of money to people creates the right environment for innovation.
“I think there are a lot of people and the goal will be a new one, who says” we will only try to copy Openai, “he said.
“Basically it never works. Always go where your competitor was and do not create a culture to learn how to innovate.”
Meta has historically promoted the IA of Open Source, especially with its series of models of great language. However, the company has faced mishaps.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the launch of its most recent model and was delayed in the midst of internal concerns about its preparation.
The deep investment of Zuckerberg in AI infrastructure, however, has not gone unnoticed. Some observers in the industry argue that the goal continues to play a critical role in the formation of the field.
“They basically built the lanes for the development of open source AI, and most of what is happening in the IA is being built on a finish line,” said Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum Group, during an appearance at CNBC Electricity Lunch on Tuesday.
The open source of open source has allowed a wide range of third -party developers to create applications at the top of its models. Defenders argue that this could offer counterweights to the most enclosed rivals strategies like Openai.
In the meantime, Openai has also been active on the front of M&A. Last month, the company completed an acquisition of all equity of $ 6.4 billion from IO, a startup founded by the former Apple Design Chief, Jony Ive.
Since then, Ive has joined Openai, contributing to him a hardware design approach and AI interfaces.
