Hello, tech lovers! Today we’re diving into how OpenAI is shaking things up in response to Meta’s aggressive hiring of top researchers.

OpenAI’s Chief Research Officer, Mark Chen, shared a memo revealing the company’s reaction to Meta poaching its brightest minds. He expressed a feeling of being invaded and stolen from, highlighting the competitive pressure.

In response, OpenAI leadership, including CEO Sam Altman, is actively engaging with potential recruits. They are not only recalibrating their compensation packages but also exploring creative ways to retain and reward their top talent.

Recent reports indicate that eight researchers left OpenAI for Meta recently, sparking concerns within the company. Altman has publicly criticized Meta’s high signing bonuses, claiming Meta was offering up to $100 million in signing bonuses, although Meta has contested these claims internally.
