Zuckerberg poached 3 top OpenAI researchers for $100 million

The epic battle for talent continues. And Zuckerberg is poaching elite researchers from OpenAI! Mark made a real strategic move and lured 3 outstanding specialists from OpenAI: Lukas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov and Xiaohua Zhai.

They all worked in OpenAI’s Zurich office and were considered key figures in the company’s research projects. According to information from reliable sources, Meta’s offer included a compensation package around $100 million. A sum that proved more convincing than OpenAI’s philosophy and culture. The irony of the situation is that just a few days ago I told you that Sam Altman publicly declared his employees’ loyalty. Claiming that, I quote – “the best of ours haven’t left yet”, despite Zuckerberg’s attempts to hire them.

Even earlier, the OpenAI head boasted about the “unique culture” in his company, which allegedly retains talent even in the face of multi-million dollar offers. Reality turned out different. Financial incentives ultimately outweighed the atmosphere created by Altman. $100 million is $100 million.
