OpenAI is, in many cases, willing to spend just as much as Meta on top AI talent, said Andrew Bosworth, Meta's technology chief.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that Meta tried to poach its employees with nine-figure offers, but failed to recruit OpenAI's best people.

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.
