OpenAI CEO Altman Looks to Zuckerberg Reunion Amid Poaching Spat

OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman hasn’t yet spoken to Mark Zuckerberg since the Meta Platforms Inc. chief executive officer poached some of OpenAI’s top engineers, but he’s anticipating a meeting at the Sun Valley conference this week and “looking forward to it.”

Altman has said Meta offered individuals as much as $100 million to jump ship. OpenAI’s strategy for retaining top performers is “having a great mission, really talented people and trying to build a great research lab and a great company, too,” Altman said after arriving at the Allen & Co. event in Idaho on Tuesday.
