In the race to control the future of artificial intelligence, Money has become the final weapon. What was previously measured in patents, algorithms or sponsorships, today is defined in astronomical salaries placed on the table to attract talent.
Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, has taken a step further by shooting the limits of the labor market, so is offering up to 300 million dollars to make sure that the best developers, scientists, architects and experts in AI work for the company.
This movement is part of an ambitious strategy that seeks to reconfigure leadership in artificial intelligence worldwide. With the creation of a specific division focused on advanced, Mark Zuckerberg has begun to absorb key talent from giants such as Google, Apple, Openai and Anthropic.
The impact of these hiring has been so strong that Some companies have already had to react readjusting their salary packages internal to avoid massive outputs. What is fought here is not only a competition for products, but for people capable of creating them.
Goal not only hires, it is also reorganized
Goal has made it clear that it is willing to spend whatever it takes, and an example is that, for certain positions, The wages offered are between 100 and 300 million dollars, distributed in several years.
It should be noted that they are not specific bonus, but that These are contracts with base salary, compensation in shares, as well as a bonus to sign. The actions, of course, are subject to objectives and minimum permanence time, who leaves before, loses much of the agreement.
One of the names that have given the most to speak is Ruoming Pang, former leader of the development of foundational models in Apple. His signing by goal has exceeded, in figures, almost any contract within Apple herself, with the exception of CEO Tim Cook.
The case of Alexandr Wang, Founder of Scale Aiwhose integration into the company of Mark Zuckerberg has been accompanied by a strategic investment of more than 14,000 million dollars.
And the bet goes beyond money, since Meta has restructured part of its organization to create a division centered exclusively on generative. In front are profiles like Nat Friedman, former CEO of Github, and Daniel Gross, co -founder of Safe Superintelligence. Both have arrived through the acquisition of their own risk capital company, NFDG.
Since the creation of the laboratory, The company has incorporated at least 16 engineers and scientists from OpenAi, Google, Apple or Anthropic. Among them are Shengjia Zhao, one of the original Chatgpt architects, and Lucas Beyer, co -author of the Vision Transformer model.
Why does the goal bet so much for AI?
The reason is simple, if you do not lead the AI, you disappear from the play, therefore, in order to finish this race it is strategic. Generative artificial intelligence can change from Facebook or Instagram recommendation systems to the way of creating advertisements, content or even increased reality products.
Investing now in the best talent is not an expense, it is a way of ensuring the future. The finishing business model – based on advertising, social networks, as well as devices – depends more and more on having models of own, powerful and sustainable. And that is only achieved with a strong team, even if you have to look for it in other companies.
The profile that all companies want to know how to program artificial intelligence tools, what is sought now is vision, leadership capacity, deep understanding of architecture and sensitivity to anticipate ethical, social or security problems.
That is why salaries have shot themselves, because the number of people with that mixture of skills is very small. And in AI, time is power, where startups cannot compete, and Many large companies are discovering that they can no longer allow to lose a single more talent.
