OpenAI to review compensation after Meta poaches several researchers

Following reports that Meta had hired away prominent researchers from OpenAI — in some cases offering $100 million — the company is now saying it will review compensation.

According to Wired, OpenAI’s management reportedly told employees they will not stand by and watch this happen. In a Slack message to staff, OpenAI’s chief scientist, Mark Chen, reportedly wrote: “I feel a strong, instinctive feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something”.

Chen said he, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others in the company’s leadership are working “around the clock to talk to those who have received offers,” as well as “adjusting compensation and exploring creative ways to recognize and reward top talent.”
