Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to reboot Meta’s lagging AI efforts with a “superintelligence” team of AI all-stars appears to be attracting more talent. The vast sums being offered are surely the lure: Bloomberg reports that one of the highest-profile hires shattered prior records for AI talent pay. Apple’s former head of its AI models team, Ruoming Pang, was reportedly lured to Meta with a pay package worth more than $200 million.

As the team fills out, it appears the “halo effect” of such a high concentration of experts might be working.
