Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
Investing.com-- Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) has hired three OpenAI researchers to work on a superintelligence project led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday evening.
The social media giant hired Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai, who were working at OpenAI’s Zurich office, the WSJ report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
The three formerly worked together at Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) DeepMind, the WSJ report said.
Wednesday’s report comes just days after an earlier report showed Meta aggressively recruiting researchers for its superintelligence project. The social media firm had reportedly offered OpenAI researchers bonuses of as high as $100 million.
This comes as Meta attempts to course-correct after the release of its latest model, Llama 4, drew a lukewarm reception. Zuckerberg is also personally leading the company’s efforts to build AI superintelligence.
