Meta's alleged $100 million offer to OpenAI talent
Lucas Beyer, a well-known AI researcher, is leaving OpenAI to join Meta.
There were rumors about him getting a massive $100 million signing bonus, but Beyer called that "fake news."
This move follows some comments from OpenAI's CEO about Meta offering big money to attract their top talent.
Beyer and his team's arrival at Meta
Beyer isn't making this switch alone—his colleagues Alexander Kolesnikov and Xiaohua Zhai, who've worked with him at Google DeepMind and OpenAI's Zurich office, are also heading to Meta.
Their arrival comes as Meta looks to step up its AI game after mixed reviews for its latest model.
While their exact roles aren't public yet, bringing in this experienced team signals Meta is serious about pushing forward in AI research.
