Meta’s Superintelligence Lab is experiencing significant talent drain, with key researchers departing the company and, in some cases, rejoining OpenAI. Despite competitive compensation packages, Meta appears to be struggling to retain its AI specialists. Possible factors contributing to the departures include internal instability, ongoing reorganizations within the lab, and the perceived appeal of OpenAI’s work culture and direction. The departures have sparked concerns about Meta’s long-term AI strategy and ability to realize its superintelligence ambitions. The news initially surfaced on Reddit, highlighting potential issues within the lab’s environment.
