OpenAI is experiencing a wave of resignations as at least eight prominent researchers have recently left to join Meta's superintelligence team.
In response, OpenAI's leadership is focused on retaining talent by reviewing compensation structures and emphasizing loyalty and fairness within the company.
Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, is aggressively recruiting AI talent, including from OpenAI, although the company denies offering $100 million signing bonuses.
The departures come at a time when OpenAI has scheduled a break for employees, an opportunity Meta might exploit to attract more talent, highlighting the escalating AI talent competition.
