Meta Platforms has hired four additional researchers from OpenAI, according to a report by The Information. The new hires—Shengjia Zhao, Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi, and Hongyu Ren—have reportedly agreed to join Meta, as cited by a person familiar with the matter. This follows earlier hiring activity reported by the Wall Street Journal, where Meta brought on Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai from OpenAI's Zurich office. These moves are part of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's broader initiative to strengthen the company's work in superintelligence by bringing in expert talent from OpenAI. Neither Meta nor OpenAI responded to Reuters' request for comment, and Reuters could not independently verify the report.
