Behind him, we see a podium on which the microphones are placed. In the background, we see a brown wall and a board in white, blue and red color with some text written on it.

OpenAI's Top Researchers Join Meta, Sparking Retention Efforts

In a recent development, eight researchers from OpenAI have reportedly joined Meta in the past week. This news has sparked a reaction from OpenAI's leadership, with the company exploring new retention strategies.

OpenAI's Chief Research Officer, Mark Chen, expressed a strong sentiment regarding the departures, stating 'I feel a visceral feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something.' Despite these losses, there are no indications that top management employees have moved to Meta.

OpenAI leadership has been actively engaged in discussions with employees who have received offers from other companies to retain them. The company is also 'recalibrating comp' and exploring creative ways to recognize and reward top talent as part of its retention efforts. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has publicly commented on the competitive hiring environment, mentioning Meta's $100 million signing bonuses.
