Mark Zuckerberg is On the Warpian path to recruit the best talents in the AI field for his newly created Meta Superinteligence laboratories. After trying the advantage of OpenAI (and effectively poaching several of the best researchers), it seems that he set his next goal.
A dozen or so people in a 50-person startup Mira Murati, Thinking Machines Lab, have been returned or received offers from the technological giant. (Murati, for those who do not remember, was previously a technology director at Openai.) One of these offers amounted to over $ 1 billion in many years, informs the source of knowledge about negotiations. The rest ranged from 200 million to $ 500 million in four years, which is confirmed by many sources. Only in the first year some employees had a guarantee of earning $ 50 to $ 100 million, according to the sources (spokesman for the laboratory refused to comment).
So far in the thinking of LAB machines, not a single person has accepted the offer.
Director of Meta Communications Andy Stone questioned this reporting in a statement for Wired. “We only submitted offers to a handful of people in TML and although there was one significant offer, the details are turned off,” he said. “At the end of the day, all this arises the question of who spinning this narrative and why.”
The initial range of Zuckerberg is low, according to the news viewed by Wired. In some cases, he sent direct messages to WhatsApp asking for an interview. From there, interviews move quickly – a long phone with the general director himself, and then talks with the technology director Andrew “Bozm” Bosworth and other managers.
Here is the message of recruitment of Superinteligence Labs Pre -Meta Zuckerberg sent to a potential recruit (tons not much changed):
“Over the years, we follow your work on progressive technology and the benefits of artificial intelligence. Over the years we make important investments in research, products and our infrastructure to build the most valuable products and AI services for people. We are optimists that all who use our services will have a world -class AI assistant to help perform things, every company will have their own community, every business will have their own community with which their clients will have their own business with which their clients They will be able to buy things that can buy things and be served by everyone.
During these conversations, BOZ was in advance about his vision of how the finish will compete with OpenAI. While the technological giant was behind the smaller competitor in building the latest models, he is willing to use his Open Source strategy to undercut OpenAi, the sources say. The point is that the metal can create technology by releasing Open Source models that directly compete with the ChatGPT manufacturer.
“Pressure has always been there since the beginning of this year and I think we have seen that the culmination of Llam 4 was thrown out of the door,” the source tells me in Meta. The implementation of the latest family of META models was delayed Because of the struggle for improving its performance, and after its release there were many drama About the company that seems to be a reference point for other models to seem better than in reality.
