Meta is aggressively recruiting AI researchers for its Superintelligence Lab, offering substantial pay packages that may reach millions of dollars, especially for senior positions. However, rumors of $100 million sign-on bonuses are largely overstated, as clarified during an internal meeting by Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth. Most substantial compensation comes in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs) rather than upfront cash. Researcher Lucas Beyer confirmed his move from OpenAI to Meta and dismissed claims of the exaggerated signing bonus, emphasizing the competitive yet realistic market for AI talent.
