Looks like Meta isn\u2019t done poaching talent from OpenAI.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, TechCrunch reported that Meta had hired influential OpenAI researcher Trapit Bansal<\/a>, and according to The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, it also hired three other researchers from the company.<\/p>\n Now The Information is reporting four more Meta hires from OpenAI<\/a>: Researchers Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren.<\/p>\n This hiring spree comes after the April launch of Meta\u2019s Llama 4 AI models<\/a>, which reportedly did not perform as well as CEO Mark Zuckerberg had hoped. (The company was also criticized over the version of Llama that it used for a popular benchmark<\/a>.)<\/p>\n There\u2019s been some back-and-forth between the two companies, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman suggesting<\/a> that Meta was offering \u201c$100 million signing bonuses\u201d while adding that \u201cso far, none of our best people\u201d have left. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth then told employees that while senior leaders may have been offered that kind of money, \u201cthe actual terms of the offer\u201d were more complex than a simple one-time signing bonus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
