Sam Altman claims Meta has attempted to poach OpenAI staff with massive bonuses as high as $100 million as the Facebook owner works to build its superintelligence unit.

While Meta had sought to hire "a lot of people" from OpenAI, "so far none of our best people have decided to take them up on that," Sam Altman said.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says Meta tried to poach his top researchers with $100 million offers, but none left, believing OpenAI has a better shot at achieving AGI.
