OpenAI has hired four senior engineers from Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) and xAI, reports Wired quoting an internal message by cofounder Greg Brockman shared on the company’s Slack channel. The new engineers, as per the report, will work on OpenAI’s scaling team, which manages the backend infrastructure and data centers that support model training, including Stargate—a joint venture aimed at building large-scale AI infrastructure. This infrastructure plays a key role in enabling OpenAI to develop and train advanced foundation models.

The new hires are expected to help OpenAI expand its infrastructure and support the company’s broader goal of developing artificial general intelligence.
