Ruoming Pang, Apple's head of AI models, is leaving to work at Meta as part of Mark Zuckerberg's new AI superintelligence unit.
Pang previously led Apple's team for training AI foundation models, which have not been as successful as competitors' models like those from OpenAI and Meta.
His departure from Apple may indicate ongoing challenges within the company's AI unit, with rumors of more exits to follow.
Pang's expertise in developing small, on-device AI models could be beneficial for Meta, as Zuckerberg continues to recruit talent from major AI players.
