Meta Forms “Superintelligence” Dream Team, Sparking Silicon Valley’s AI Talent War: Meta announced the formation of the “Meta Superintelligence Lab” (MSL), appointing former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang as Chief AI Officer, with former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman co-leading. The lab aims for an all-out effort to develop “superintelligence” that surpasses humans. To assemble this “dream team,” Meta has poached at least 11 top talents from competitors like OpenAI and Google in a matter of weeks, including several core Chinese researchers from the GPT-4o and o3 teams. The move sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley. In an internal memo, OpenAI Chief Research Officer Mark Chen said it felt “like someone broke into our house and stole things,” and announced plans to readjust the compensation system and arrange a company-wide vacation to boost morale. This talent war, driven by massive compensation packages (rumored to be as high as $100 million), signifies that the AI race has entered a white-hot phase. Tech giants are sparing no expense to seize the high ground in AGI, which has also led to the formation of a “pecking order” among AI labs. (Source: 36Kr, Wired, The Information, 华尔街见闻)
