Meta has successfully recruited three researchers, Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai, from OpenAI’s Zurich office to bolster its AI initiatives. This move is part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's strategy to address challenges within Meta's AI development.
Elon Musk sought Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's assistance in financing a $97.4 billion takeover of OpenAI, as revealed in recent court filings related to Musk's legal battle with the company. Musk's motivation stemmed from his discontent with OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model, leading to a rift between him and OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman. OpenAI has countered Musk's claims, alleging harassment and harm to its business from Musk's actions.
