Sam Altman is stepping down as chair of Oklo, a nuclear startup, to allow the company more freedom to explore partnerships with AI firms, including potentially OpenAI. Despite a recent merger that brought Oklo public, the company's stock fell 12% following the announcement, and it has yet to secure agreements with major tech companies for its emissions-free power solutions. Oklo aims to launch its first advanced reactor by the end of the decade.

Sam Altman revealed that Meta attempted to recruit talent from OpenAI by offering $100 million salaries, but ultimately failed in their efforts. This highlights the competitive landscape for AI talent and the lengths companies will go to secure top professionals in the field.
