4 Main Researchers from OpenAI Move to Meta
Complex Korean , Jakarta - Empat researcher OpenAI leaving the company to join Meta as reported Wired Ahad, 29 Juni 2025. Shengjia Zhao, Shuchao Bi, Jiahui Yu, and Hongyu Ren have joined the Meta superintelligence team. Their OpenAI Slack profiles have been disabled.
This is the latest aggressive move in a series of aggressive steps by Mark Zuckerberg, who is racing to catch up with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in building artificial intelligence (AI).
Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that Meta had made a "huge offer" to OpenAI staff with a signing bonus of US$ 100 million (approximately Rp 1.6 trillion). He added that "none of our very best people decided to accept it."
A source Wired OpenAI confirmed the offer. Hongyu Ren is the post-training lead at OpenAI for the mini models o3 and o4, along with open-source models that will be released this summer, according to several sources. Post-training is the process of refining the model after it has been trained on primary datasets.
According to other sources, Shengjia Zhao is highly skilled in deep learning research. He joined OpenAI in the summer of 2022 and helped build the company's GPT-4 model.
Jiahui Yu previously worked at Google DeepMind before joining OpenAI at the end of 2023. Shuchao Bi is a multimodal model manager at OpenAI.
The departure from OpenAI occurred not long after the company lost three researchers from its office in Zurich, as reported. Wall Street Journal OpenAI and Meta have not responded to this move.
