OpenAI Recruits Former Meta AI Researcher Ruoming Pang

OpenAI has hired Ruoming Pang, a prominent AI researcher who recently joined Meta from Apple about seven months ago. Pang led AI infrastructure for Meta's Superintelligence Labs, working on next-generation AI models. He left Meta last week after months of recruitment by OpenAI. Pang had joined Meta with a compensation package reportedly exceeding $200 million over several years. This move highlights ongoing competition among tech firms in Silicon Valley to attract top AI talent with lucrative offers.
