1. Meta said to plan 4th AI restructuring in 6 months

  • Meta Superintelligence Labs will be divided into 4 groups.

    • TBD (to be determined) Lab will reportedly be a new lab, working on Meta’s next-gen Llama LLM and is rumored to have several leads.

      • Ex-Googler Jack Rae would lead pre-training, while former Apple lead model developer, Ruoming Pang, would lead TBD Lab’s infrastructure.

      • Former OpenAI researcher Jiahui Yu would lead its multimedia efforts.

      • Ex-OpenAI researcher Hongyu Ren and ex-Googler Pei Sun will be among post-training leaders.

2. OpenAI staffers said to sell $6B in stock to investors in deal valuing company at $500B

  • SoftBank, Dragoneer, and Thrive Capital are reportedly buying OpenAI shares from its current and former employees.

  • The secondary share investment is on top of SoftBank’s commitment to lead OpenAI’s upcoming $40B round.

  • The talks are early, and the size of the share sale could still change.

  • OpenAI’s share sale could aid in retaining talent amid growing competition from Meta and others.
