The competition for AI talent is intensifying as Meta aggressively tries to recruit researchers from OpenAI, offering substantial financial packages including $100 million signing bonuses. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reports that these offers have not swayed their top researchers, who prioritize OpenAI's mission and culture over monetary compensation. Altman highlights that OpenAI researchers believe in the startup's potential to achieve superintelligence and feel more fulfilled working toward a greater purpose than merely high salaries.
Meta has attempted to poach talent from OpenAI with $100 million signing bonuses, but OpenAI's best researchers are staying due to strong company culture.
Altman credited OpenAI's mission of benefiting 'all of humanity' as key in retaining talent, valuing purpose over compensation.
