OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on a podcast this week that Meta

has dangled $100 million signing bonuses in front of the startup’s employees, but that his company’s best people have opted to stay.

According to Meta technology chief Andrew Bosworth, OpenAI countered Meta’s offers.

“The market is setting a rate here for a level of talent which is really incredible and kind of unprecedented in my 20-year career as a technology executive,” Bosworth, who joined Meta in 2006 and has been CTO since 2022, told CNBC’s “Closing Bell Overtime” on Friday.
