"Here, people say, 'I want the fewest number of people reporting to me and the most GPUs,'" Mark Zuckerberg said about the AI talent war.

Meta has reportedly poached two top OpenAI researchers, Jason Wei and Hyung Won Chung, for its new superintelligence lab, escalating the fierce AI talent war between leading tech giants.

Meta is reportedly offering massive salaries – up to Rs 1,600 crore – to top AI researchers from Apple and OpenAI. These hires will drive its Superintelligence Lab and long-term push towards AGI.

Game of Kings. Hi everyone. Thanks to Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the price to compete in the AI arms race has just gone up this week. Way up.

Scale AI, a private U.S. artificial intelligence company, laid off 14% of staff after tech giant Meta took a $14.3 billion stake and hired its CEO last month.

For Silicon Valley giants, getting ahead in the artificial intelligence race requires more than building the biggest, most capable models; they’re also competing to get third-party developers to build new applications based on their technology.

Many of Meta’s competitors have multi-gigawatt sites planned, including Oracle, Google, OpenAI, and Amazon. TechRepublic recently reported that Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary is building the world’s largest AI data center in Canada.

When I sat down with Meta CEO and founder Mark Zuckerbergto talk artificial intelligence, I expected that he would want to discuss the company’s new supercomputer plans and talk about why he’s been working the phones all summer in a red-hot AI recruiting blitz.
