Mark Zuckerberg has He picked up the high -ranking of the OpenAI researcher to be the Meta Superinteligence Labs (MSL) research director. Yang Song, who previously managed the strategic research team at Openai, is now reporting to Shengjia Zhao, another Openai graduate who supervised the buzzing AI efforts since July, according to many sources. He started at the beginning of this month.
This movement occurred after Zuckerberg started employing Blitz this summer, bringing at least 11 best researchers from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.
Song has been at Openai since 2022. His research has focused on improving the ability of models to process gigantic, sophisticated data sets in various modalities. He is still a student of the Stanford University, he developed a breakthrough technique that helped in developing the development of the DALL-E 2 OpenAI image generation model. Both he and Zhao attended the University of Tsinghua in Beijing as students and worked on the same adviser, Stefano Ermon, while making doctors in Stanford.
In a note full of personnel sent this summer, Zuckerberg advertised the impressive CV Zhao as Cocreor of Chatgpt, GPT-4, All Mini Models, 4.1 and O3 at OpenAI-but did not specify the novel role of Zhao in Meta. In July, Zuckerberg wrote in Post threads That while Zhao “co -founded the laboratory” and “he was our main scientist from the first day”, Meta decided to “formalize his leadership role” as the main scientist of the laboratory. This movement occurred after Zhao threatened to return to OpenAi, even moving even to signing employment documents, as he said earlier.
A petite number of researchers have left the Meta Superinteligence laboratories since the initiative was announced in June. Two employees returned to Opeli, previously wired. One of these researchers went on board, but he never appeared on the first day of work on the finish.
Another AI researcher, Aurko Roy, also left the finish line in July, he learned Wired. According to his personal website, he worked in a technological giant for only five months, which he says that he is now working on Microsoft AI. Roy did not answer immediately at the request for comment from Wired. Yang Song, Opeli and Meta also did not answer immediately at the request for comment from Wired.
The song already joins the crowded field of the well -known AI talent in the increasingly complicated AI Meta division. When Zhao was employed in July, some speculated that he was replaced by Yanna Lecuna, a longtime main scientist AI Meta. In the LinkedIn Lecun post he explained that he remained the main scientist of AI on Facebook AI Research (Fair), a long -term fundamental research laboratory AI.
