Sam Altman, CEO of Openaai, said this week in a podcast that Meta Has bonuses 100 million US dollars for bonuses in front of the startup staff, but that the best people of his company decided to stay.
According to Andrew Bosworth, head of META technology, Openai countered the offers from Meta.
“The market sets a speed for a talent level that is really incredible and unprecedented in my 20-year career as a technology manager,” said Bosworth, who came to Meta in 2006 and has been CTO since 2022, compared to CNBCs “Closing Bell Overtime” on Friday.
The AI employment war dramatically fueled last week when Alexandr Wang, co-founder of Skala Ai, follows that he would connect with META to work on superintelligence, a term for technology that exceeds human ability. Meta will invest in the exchange of over 14 billion US dollars in the Skala -KI in exchange for a share of 49%, in a deal that aims to lure Wang and some of his best employees.
On Thursday, CNBC reported that Meta had tried to buy former Openai co-founder Ilya Sutskevers New Startup Safe Superintelligence, now his CEO Daniel Gross and the former CEO of Github, NAT Friedman. The two have a position in Safe Superintelligence through their risk management NFDG.
And earlier on Friday, CNBC confirmed that Meta turned the start -up confusion of the AI via a possible acquisition, but the deal never came about.
“We really believe in a future in which a superintelligent ski will help people on every step of the path,” said Bosworth. “Wherever you could use an extra helping hand, it is there for you. And that's why we were lucky that this type of team rally, which now does this idea of superintelligence and doing what you need to pursue this vision with people like Alex Wang.”
In the first quarter, the investment expenditure and main payments of META for financial rental contracts approached $ 14 billion.
“Now,” said Bosworth, “we meet with this investment in personnel and the calculation and the people what makes it happen.”
Altman said in the podcast organized by his brother this week that Meta had promised the bonuses of more than 100 million US dollars of annual compensation.
Openai did not answer a request for comments.
At the beginning of this month, Openai announced that it had achieved an annual turnover of $ 10 billion, but the company continues to collect high losses.
