Meta added Frank Chu to his team, who manages cloud infrastructure and search -oriented artificial intelligence works in Apple. Thus, in seven weeks, he became the sixth artificial intelligence expert who passed from Apple to Meta.
Frank Chu was responsible for the development of Siri’s large language -based infrastructure in Apple. In addition, he undertook important tasks in the field of data training and development systems. On the meta side Superintelligigence Labs It was included in the MSL Infra team established within it. The main task of this team will be to improve the artificial intelligence infrastructure and to make it scalable. Nevertheless, a general employment ice cream is applied in Meta. However, the company brings exception to this rule for critical positions, and Chu’s hire took place within this framework.
On the other hand, Meta, not only Apple, but also the names of artificial intelligence teams of different institutions transferred names. Lucas Beyer from OpenAI and Alexander Kolesnikov, some researchers from Google Deepmind, expert engineers from Scale AI passed to the company in this process. In addition to all these, Apple Ruoming Pang and Daniel Gross were also transferred to Meta in recent months. Most of the employees were hired by special contracts that vary according to their duties and expressed in millions of dollars. Thus, Meta quickly expanded the human resources in the field of artificial intelligence.
In addition, CEO Mark Zuckerberg, all artificial intelligence projects Superintelligigence Labs He decided to collect under his name. The institution has been divided into four different sub -teams: MSL Infra, Product and Application Research, long -term research known as FAIR and model development unit called TBD Lab. Frank Chu will take a critical responsibility on the infrastructure side within this structure. However, in this period when recruitment in Meta is limited, the continuation of such strong transfers emphasizes the company’s artificial intelligence goals. In addition, the high -level transitions from Apple did not cut behind.
Apple continues to experience high -level artificial intelligence losses
The losses on the Apple side directly affect the company’s vision of artificial intelligence. Developed for the new version of Siri, the large language -based updates are getting ready more than expected. Despite this, Apple began to test third -party solutions as well as in -house models. However, the transition of senior names to Meta leads to more complex. Apple CEO Tim Cook, making a statement about the employees will invest in this field and the deficiencies will be eliminated, he said. In addition to all these, the high wage packages offered by Meta during this period play a role in accelerating transfers.
Frank Chu’s transition to Meta is just an example of Apple’s recent losses. Previously, Bowen Zhang, Tom Gunter, Mark Lee and Yun Zhu experts such as Apple left the Meta. In addition, it was claimed that Meta offered to some artificial intelligence researchers up to $ 100 million. In addition, Apple is known to have recently made new arrangements about the shrinkage of artificial intelligence teams. Despite everything, Meta continues to add names to the staff who can take part in critical tasks. Thus, the company continues to create a strong core team for Superintelligigence Labs.
