Lucas Beyer, one of three OpenAI researchers who recently joined Meta’s superintelligence team, has publicly dismissed reports that Mark Zuckerberg offered him a $100 million signing bonus, calling the claims “fake news.”
“No, we did not get 100M sign-on, that’s fake news,” wrote Beyer in his post on X, announcing this move to Meta with his colleagues.
Beyer’s clarification comes after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed on his brother’s podcast that Meta had been making “giant offers” worth more than $100 million to lure away his top talent.
