It has been very clear that the issue of artificial intelligence is the new battlefield today and No great company is willing to lose part of its cake. Without going any further, OpenAi and goal compete without stopping to attract and retain the best researchers in the world.
But what was previously a healthy competition and a rivalry without major problems, has now climbed to a huge war of talents, with millionaire signings, offers impossible to reject and tensions that have already climbed to the media.
Contextualizing, Facebook’s own founder Mark Zuckerberg, is recruiting 50 AI experts, who will have a single objective and is to achieve general artificial intelligence (AGI). This is stated by an investigation of the medium Bloombergvia Business Insider.
As explained, Zuckerberg himself has visited the private residences of prominent researchers and developers of AI in recent weeks, to convince them to join their superintelligence group. Perplexity is also in the spotlight and is in full war with Apple for this startup.
Now it has been known that, in recent weeks, Meta has managed to attract several of Openai’s most important researchersthe company behind Chatgpt.
Of course, and as expected, Openai has reacted in an internal statement and its research director, Mark Chen, has compared the situation with a robbery: «I feel a visceral sensation, as if someone had entered our house and had stolen something.»
OpenAI vs. Goal and its war for the best brains in AI
According to reports, in the last week at least eight researchers have abandoned Openai to join the finish linethe parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Among them, there are names such as Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi and Hongyu Ren, all of them very important figures in the AI field and automatic learning.
There is no doubt that the Zuckerberg company is betting strongly on its new superintelligence laboratory, a team specialized in creating more advanced artificial intelligence systems than those that already exist today.
To do this, The billionaire has not only made money on the table, but has come to offer bonuses of up to 100 million dollars to some researchersaccording to statements by Sam Altman himself, CEO of OpenAI, in a podcast.
With this as a basis, Openai’s response had to arrive from one moment to another and Mark Chen, its research director, has launched an internal message to employees ensuring that the company is working ‘day and night’ to retain its stars.
«I feel a visceral sensation right now, as if someone had entered our house and had stolen something»
«We are emphasizing compensation and looking for creative ways to recognize and reward the best talents,» Chen has written. In addition, he has asked employees to come to him if they receive target offers, promising support and transparency in the process.
However, it is true that the situation in the creator of Chatgpt is not simple. They work under huge pressure, with days of up to 80 hours per week and a rhythm that for many is unsustainable.
To try to stop this and prevent them from running to the competition, the company has decided to close almost completely next week and give its employees time to rest. However, Openai’s high positions fear that Meta takes advantage of this moment to continue pressing their employees and accelerate those star signings.
«We must stay focused on the real objective: to find ways to convert computing (many more supercomputs will be available at the end of this year) in intelligence,» adds Chen. «This is the main mission, and it is important to remember that scales with goal are the secondary mission,» he concludes.
