While Meta had sought to hire "a lot of people" from OpenAI, "so far none of our best people have decided to take them up on that," Sam Altman said.

Altman said this shows how deeply OpenAI’s team believes in the company’s mission to develop Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He suggested that money alone isn’t enough to attract top AI minds when they are motivated by purpose and innovation.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says Meta tried to poach his top researchers with $100 million offers, but none left, believing OpenAI has a better shot at achieving AGI.
