Investing.com -- Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has hired three artificial intelligence researchers from Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) DeepMind as part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s aggressive recruitment efforts in the AI sector.

The new hires - Tianhe Yu, Cosmo Du and Weiyue Wang - previously worked on a version of Google’s Gemini model that recently solved problems in this year’s International Math Olympiad at a gold medal level, according to The Information, citing sources familiar with the matter.

This recruitment move comes as Zuckerberg aims to recover from earlier setbacks this year through an extensive AI talent acquisition strategy. Over the past month, Meta has brought in researchers from various competitors including OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI, all in efforts to create Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL).

With the addition of Yu, Du and Wang, Meta has now recruited at least six researchers from Google DeepMind alone, signaling the company’s determination to strengthen its position in the artificial intelligence field.
