In a now-leaked memo, OpenAI Chief Research Officer Mark Chen told staff how the company is fighting back against Meta poaching staff. Meta has reportedly been compiling a list of top talent to poach in the AI talent wars — and OpenAI researchers are on it. Now, OpenAI leadership is reassuring staff that the company is fighting back against Meta in the war for AI talent. The Information reported on Saturday that Meta had hired four more OpenAI AI researchers: Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren. One of the OpenAI employees Meta poached, Lucas Beyer, also posted on X that he did not receive a $100 million signing bonus.
