OpenAII CEO Sam Altman, after criticizing his company’s AI researchers on aggressive work, erupted a browing rivalry among Tech veterans this week. In a message, Altman sent OpenAI employees on Monday (which was first reported Wire), Ultman targeted the Meta’s strategy, called them “anger” and warned that they could be “very deep cultural problems”. Meta recently launched its new Superintendent Team, Meta Superintendent Labs (MSL), headed by Scale AI founder Alexandra Wang and former Githib CEO Nat Freedman. As part of the attempt, Meta hired at least 11 senior AI researchers from companies such as OpenA, anthropropic and Google Dipmind.

Openai convicts are Shengjia Zhao, Shuchao Bi, Jiahu Yu, and Hongyu Ren. OpenEI Chief Research Officer Mark Chen told the staff that the exit felt that “someone had broken in our house and stole something”. Altman, however, reduced the loss in his note. “Meta has received some great people to ensure,” he wrote, “but overall, it is difficult to overstate how much they did not get their top people and had to go far away in their list.”

He criticized the way Meta was operating his recruitment drive, saying: “AI Twitter is toxic; Meta is working in a way that feels somewhat disinterested.”
Meta proposals have allegedly included compensation packages as $ 300 million in four years, with at least 10 openiAI researchers proposed over $ 100 million with first -year proposals. According to Wired, these proposals often included stock options that were immediately vested, a major incentive in the Silicon Valley.

While an Openai researcher admitted that the proposals were “breathtaking”, he also claimed that the figures were exaggerated. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth said in an internal meeting that “the market is hot. It’s not hot.” He said that only a few leadership roles saw offers in the $ 100 million range, saying: “This is not a sign-on bonus-these are all different things.” Earlier this week, Meta also said that it would adjust and reward the salary of its employees.

Nevertheless, the numbers have unresolved Openai. Altman told the staff that the company was now reviewing compensation in the entire research team. He said, “I believe that there is much more reverse for openi stock compared to meta stocks,” he said that the awards should follow meaningful progress. “After huge success comes a lot of reverse.”

Despite Meta’s attractive proposals and more and more compute access promises – some have been criticized for allegedly giving Altmans first – he made a firm case for OpenaiI’s mission and culture. “Missionaries will beat the mercenaries,” he wrote. “We really care about the construction of AGI in a good way. Other companies care more about it as an important goal.”

Altman insisted that Openi’s long -term commitment to AGI would suggest that he described as a tendency to jump from a tendency of the meta to the next. He said, “We will stay here in our next taste of the week after a long time of Meta, day -day, year -Sal,” he said.

Many Openai employees who had previously worked in Mata supported Altman’s spirit on slack. “Yes, we are bizarre and strange,” one wrote, “but that’s make this place a magical cradle of innovation.”

In response, the leadership of Meta returned. Bosworth accused Altman of exaggerating the situation and said: “We are succeeding in getting talent from Openai.”
Meta Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has not created any secret to his ambitions. In the memo, he also confirmed that the newly-made MSL would focus on developing artificial general intelligence and advancing the status of the meta in the AI ​​race-an area where it is still trapped behind Open and Google.
