Meta has refuted allegations made by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman regarding exorbitant signing bonuses offered to lure away his employees. Altman had suggested Meta was offering ‘$100 million signing bonuses,’ a claim Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth has vehemently denied as misleading. While acknowledging the fierce competition for AI talent, Bosworth stated that such massive bonuses are not standard practice. He pointed to instances of OpenAI researchers choosing to join Meta, asserting that Meta has ultimately emerged as the victor in the ongoing battle for top AI minds.
