Meta Wants to Win the AI Race With Money but It May Not Be Enough
Meta is going all-in to win the AI race — pouring billions into the superintelligence lab and offering sky-high salaries to lure top talent. But despite the money and ambition, one thing’s clear: not everyone is for sale.
Details:
Meta is hiring aggressively, pouring $14.3B into Scale AI and launching an AGI lab with Scale CEO Alexandr Wang. Some offers reach $300M over 4 years — but they're tied to performance and heavy workloads, making many think twice
OpenAI has lost around 10 key researchers to Meta, especially after recent leadership turmoil. With a 67% retention rate (lower than Anthropic’s 80% and DeepMind’s 78%), it’s become a prime poaching ground
But money isn’t everything. Many engineers value mission and ethics over pay. Anthropic appeals with its safety-first focus, while Meta’s intensity turns some away. One engineer said: “The money wasn’t worth giving up my life”
Despite Meta’s billions, winning the AI race takes more than cash. In a field driven by values, loyalty isn’t for sale — and Meta’s real challenge is meaning, not money.

OpenAI to Release Open-Weight Language Model as Microsoft Deal Faces Challenge
OpenAI is set to release its first open-weight language model since 2019, potentially challenging its close Microsoft partnership. The model could launch as early as next week and will be offered on various cloud platforms—not limited to Azure.
Details:
OpenAI to release an open-weight model “similar to o3 mini,” marking its first open release in years. It will be available on Azure, Hugging Face, and other platforms, letting users run it without relying on OpenAI or Microsoft
The move challenges Microsoft’s business model, which includes a 20% AI revenue-sharing deal. With the model open to rivals, Azure customers may switch to cheaper or competing cloud providers
Timing aligns with OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit structure and contract talks with Microsoft. While Microsoft keeps rights to offer compute, it loses control over how the model is distributed
This shift could reshape the AI landscape by broadening availability of advanced reasoning models, though its real impact depends on how open and permissive the licensing terms truly are.
