Mark Zuckerberg is personally reaching out to engineers at Google Deepmind, in an attempt to sway them to join Meta.
Meta is actively seeking AI engineers and is using a range of strategies to entice leading researchers. Additionally, it is offering considerable bonuses to keep existing employees who are considering moving to competing AI firms.
Reports suggest that Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has personally started contacting professionals at Google's DeepMind, writing individual emails to attract them to Meta's AI initiatives.
This action highlights the escalating rivalry for AI expertise, with Meta using diverse strategies to lure leading scientists.
Insiders knowledgeable about the situation informed The Information that Zuckerberg's emails highlight the importance of AI for Meta and are designed to attract DeepMind employees to work for Meta. These insiders, who wished to remain anonymous, disclosed that these individualized letters have successfully recruited at least one person.
Apart from Zuckerberg's personal efforts, Meta has also adopted dynamic hiring tactics in the AI sector. These involve skipping the usual interview process and directly offering positions to potential candidates.
Additionally, it has been reported that Meta has boosted salary incentives for its workers who showed interest in moving to competitor AI firms, with the aim of keeping them.
The intense competition in the AI expertise market has led companies such as Meta to take remarkable steps. Due to the restricted pool of talent, major tech companies are involved in aggressive hiring practices. This was emphasized in a December report by Fortune, which described the ruthless atmosphere at key machine learning events.
Considering the high demand for AI knowledge, Aravind Srinivas, the head of AI firm Perplexity, shared his journey of trying to hire a top-level researcher from Meta.
Srinivas mentioned on the "Invest Like the Best" podcast that the feedback he got highlighted the requirement for significant resources, like NVIDIA's sought-after H100 GPUs, underlining the critical importance in the AI competition.
Meta is significantly ramping up its AI efforts through substantial investment in NVIDIA's H100 GPUs, intending to purchase more than 340,000 units. This major financial commitment highlights Meta's dedication to enhancing AI functions across its various platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Meta is leaving no stone unturned in its quest for AI expertise and resources as it squares off against competitors, such as Microsoft and its ally OpenAI. This indicates a rigorous struggle for supremacy in the AI domain.
