OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said Meta Platforms Inc. has offered his employees signing bonuses as high as $100 million, with even larger annual compensation packages, as it seeks to build a top artificial intelligence team.
âIt is crazy,â Altman said on the podcast Uncapped, which is hosted by his brother. While Meta has sought to hire âa lot of peopleâ at OpenAI, âso far none of our best people have decided to take them up on that,â Altman added.
