Chung contributed to the o1 model and advanced research initiatives during his tenure. Their departure follows a pattern of key personnel leaving OpenAI for Meta's AI division.
Meta has launched an aggressive recruitment campaign to build artificial general intelligence capabilities. The company offers enhanced compensation packages and expanded resources to attract top researchers.
