Meta claims that he wins the war of talents from Opeli

During the meeting at the whole company on Thursday, some of the most critical meta managers were asked about “bonuses to sign $ 100 million” Altman itself He claimed that they offered poaching employees.

“He is dishonest here” Andrew BosworthCto Meta, he said at the meeting when he was asked about Altman’s comments. “He suggests that we do it for every person … Look, the guys, the market is hot. It’s not so hot.”

The “$ 100 million bonus” headline rightly became a meme in social media, since Altman said his brother’s podcast number. “He does not mention the fact that he counteracts all these offers, creating a small market for a very, very small number of people who are for seniors, seniors” in the modern AI Superinteligence Meta teams, Bosworth today told Employees to Meta. “This is not a general thing that happens in AI space. And of course it does not mention the actual terms of the offer. It is not [a] Login bonus. These are all these different things. “

Then Bosworth appealed to recent stories about a handful of OPENAI researchers who join the finish line, and said that there are “a few others in the pipeline that I can’t announce or divide now.”

“He is known for exaggeration, and in this case I know exactly why he does it, what is the fact that we managed to get talent from OpenAi,” he said. “He is not very happy about that.”

At the Thursday meeting there were many employees from Bootcamp’s “Bootcamp”, a multi -week on -board program, which assigns modern employees to various teams. “You haven’t fucked up for all new bootcampers,” Bosworth said, laughing and clapping the audience. “You made a great decision. Comp is exactly where it should be.”

Bosworth was not the only finish that Opeli mentioned during an internal meeting. CPO Chris Cox He also decided that although Meta AI has one billion monthly users, the commitment “is not as deep as the way people use chatgpt.” The Independent Meta AI application has only 450,000 users a day, told employees, and “many of these people” apply it to manage their Ray-Ban Meta metaches.

“We are not going to go right after chatgpt and try to do better by helping to write E -Mile at work,” said Cox. “We have to stand out here, not focusing obsessively on performance, which you see anthropic and openai and google. We focus on entertainment, combined with friends, how people live their lives, on all things that we are doing well well, which is a large part of the strategy.”

Meta refused to comment on the internal meeting.

When I talked to Jason On Thursday I wanted to understand why he sued the most influential technology company.

The startup of AI, IYO devices, has recently won a fleeting ban on embarrassment, which prohibits Openai from using the “IO” brand for Altman itself Recent division of equipment with Ive ions. In response, Altman took part in his X account to suggest that Rugolo filed a claim regarding a trademark, because OpenAI refused to invest or buy IYO, which is preparing to issue the first earphones with AI drive this year.

Rugolo acknowledges (and documents submitted to the court confirms that he has been invested many times by Altman. This year he also talked about taking over with members of the IO team. However, he says that his lawsuit is not part of a crusade of revenge, but rather intended to eliminate all the confusion between his coming Your first headphones And Io Altman.

Trademarks’ lawsuits are ten people, but he broke for a reason. There is intensive interest in what Altman and Ive build (the first device apparently will not be a “ear” or “to wear” product), and the matter is a Rorschach test for what you think about Altman, which undoubtedly polarizes.

“I had a huge change in opinions about a guy,” says Rugoolo about Altman. “When I met them, I was under the charm that Altman himself was a great entrepreneur and a really interesting person. It broke quite immediately after their public announcement [of io]. ”

“Am I fucking here?“Rugoolo remembers thinking.” When I talked to him on the phone and he made a threat to Sopranos to sue me, I was simply: “All right, this guy is a bad guy.”

“This is an unfounded dispute from the trademark, not a case of stolen ideas or technology,” Openai spokesman Kayla Wood He speaks in a statement made available to me. “Iyo demonstrated the product in May 2025, which did not function properly or met our standards in the hope that we acquired Iyo. We passed. Jason Rugolo was also aware of the name IO and never aroused fear of our advertisement.”

Thanks to millions of dollars, which he recently collected from his producer, Pegatron and billionaire, whom he refuses to mention, Rugolo says that Iyo has enough run belt to survive it until the end of 2026. Viral conversation Last year, he actually sends himself this year, he says that he intends to fly to China to “live in a factory basically.”

While he is ready to go through the legal process of discovering and take over the case to the trial, he hopes that Opeli will “put their weapons” and “completely like adults on the product.”

“I will meet them on the market,” he tells me. “We will both try to start things that are really frigid and see if we can serve our clients. They will simply compete honestly and stop using the name. They have one of the best designers in the world, apparently. Think about the modern name. You just can’t apply the one I have told you and which I have used since 2019.”

So far, the catwalk is known for bringing generative artificial intelligence to Hollywood. Now the startup worth $ 3 billion puts in the gaming industry.

This week, I received access to a new interactive impression of games that Runway plans to make available to everyone next week, according to CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela. The product addressed to consumers is currently quite naked, with a chat interface, which only supports the generation of text and image, but Valenzuela claims that the generated video games will come later this year. He says that Runway also talks to games for games about using technology as well as access to its sets of data for training.

Based on his recent conversations, Valenzuela believes that the game industry is in a similar position to Hollywood when he was first introduced into generative artificial intelligence. There was significant resistance, but with time AI was gradually taken in more areas of the production process. Valenzuela says the last Amazon program, David’s houseIt was created partly with Runway technology and that his company cooperates with “almost every gigantic studio” and “most companies from the Fortune 100 list”.

“If we manage to aid the studio to make the movie 40 percent faster, we will probably be able to aid game creators faster,” he says. “They wake up and move faster than I would say that the studies moved two years ago.”

Of course, I couldn’t let Valenzuela get off our connection with the magnification, without asking about him Recent acquisition talks With Zuckerberg: “I think we have more compelling intellectual challenges that are independent and remain independent.”

Nobody knows what Agi really means. This is a lot of clear of this perfect Deep diving with Information In the Microsoft agreement with Opeli. There were many good reports on negotiations between two companies, but this song is the most versatile and detailed I’ve ever seen. He states that Microsoft will no longer receive exclusive access to the OPENAI IP if he reaches a “sufficient Aga number”, which is defined conventionally as when the OPENAI Management Board specifies that artificial intelligence “has the ability to generate” maximum profits to which investors are authorized. Strangely enough, Opeli does not have to actually generate these profits.

Two offers at the radar: Although they did not win many headlines, Opennai announced an interesting partnership and a small takeover this week. First deal with the intuition used To “develop a modern generation, experiences related to AI in vehicles.” The second is the takeover of a small team in MindsAI startup, which helped e-commerce companies offer more personalized product recommendations. “Personally, joining the OPENAI research team to focus on agents and searching for information is a special honor,” founder of Crossing Minds Alexandre Eobicque I’m writing. “These are problems that I have always been passionate about: how systems learn, reason and regain gigantic -scale knowledge.”
