MAT CEO Mark Zuckerberg is all going to build a top -level artificial intelligence (AI) team and personally trying to bring the most clever people in the AI ​​space on board. According to a WSJ report, Zuckerberg is messaging top researchers, developers and entrepreneurs directly worldwide, offering them a huge salary package of up to $ 100 million, which is about Rs 860 crore when converted to Indian currency.

Tech billionaire is trying to create a new “superintendent” laboratory under Meta. To make it a reality, he is involved in the process of personally hiring. In fact, he is reaching people through email and WhatsApp messages, a step that has surprised many candidates. One of them also thought that the messages were fake and did not immediately respond, only later to find out that the CEOs of Meta were trying to contact them themselves.

This aggressive recruitment push allegedly began after Meta’s recent conflicts in AI space. The company was also accused of delaying the launch of one of its new AI models earlier this year and introducing the performance data, which made its model really better. These incidents expressed concern about whether Meta was falling back into the rapidly growing AI race, especially with companies such as Openai and Google.

To change the situation, Zuckerberg is now playing the role of the main recruitment himself. He has approached several big names in the AI ​​region, including Openai co-founder (John Shulman and Bill Pebbles) and other experts from top firms. Although some people have rejected the proposals as they have not yet joined or have not resigned, the discussion is still going on with others. In one case, Meta allegedly offered to get a startup to bring its team to the ship. In the second, Zuckerberg said that to join his team, he spent more than $ 14 billion to get a CEO of a startup called Scale AI.

These are not regular job proposals. The report said that some candidates have been offered a compensation package of $ 100 million (about Rs 860 crore), making them one of the highest paid technical fares ever. Despite the money, not everyone is confident. Some of the meta are trying to feel uncertain about the current AI direction and structure of the meta company. Meta has gone through many internal reshuffle, which has caused confusion about who is doing what.

Another reason for hesitation amidst possible fare is the Meta scientist Yan Lakeun, the main Mata scientist, is reportedly a different opinion on how AI should move forward. While many companies are focusing on large language models (LLM) to achieve supernatural AI, Lakeun believes that this is the right way. This difference of opinion within the meta is also thinking twice before some experts join.

Nevertheless, Zuckerberg is highly active and individually invested in the construction of this AI Dream Team. He is part of a WhatsApp group called “recruiting party” with top HR officials of Meta, where they discuss the strategies hiring. Once someone is shortlisted, Zuckerberg often sends the first message. If the person reacts positively, he invites them to private meetings, sometimes in his homes in Palo Alto or Lake Taho.

He is also promising that there will be no problem in meta. With Arabs in access to advertising revenue and latest AI chips, Zuckerberg wants to ensure that those who join, do not have to worry about funding or computing power. They believe that this strong foundation will attract talents that want to work on the next level AI products.

However, other companies are also trying to maintain their top mind. For example, Openai has allegedly made attractive counterofers for those meta that try to poach. Openai CEO Sam Altman also said that no member of his top team has left for Meta so far.
