Mark Zuckerberg is personally reaching out to potential AI recruits with lucrative offers, including pay packages exceeding $100 million, as Meta seeks to address its ongoing AI challenges. Despite the enticing financial incentives, many candidates remain cautious due to the company's recent restructuring and struggles in AI development.

Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of Thinking Machines Lab, has departed the AI startup to join Meta Platforms, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. His move follows Meta's aggressive recruitment strategy, which includes lucrative offers aimed at attracting talent from competitors in the AI field.

Meta has successfully recruited two more prominent members from Apple's AI team, Mark Lee and Tom Gunter, following the acquisition of Ruoming Pang. This move is part of Meta's aggressive strategy to enhance its AI capabilities, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg investing heavily in securing top talent from various companies.
