"Tulloch will join Meta's newly formed TBD Labs unit, headed by Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, the source said, although Tulloch's specific focus is not yet clear. Tulloch, a well-regarded machine learning expert who previously worked at Meta and OpenAI, has most recently been a key figure at Thinking Machines, the startup founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati."
"Flashback: The Wall Street Journal reported in August that, having failed to buy Thinking Machines, Zuckerberg had tried to recruit Tulloch with a jaw-dropping pay package that could have been worth as much as $1.5 billion when factoring in bonuses and assuming a sufficient rise in Meta's stock. Meta denied at the time that its offer stretched that high, with a spokesman calling it "inaccurate and ridiculous." Go deeper: Meta and OpenAI lean into social AI video."
Tulloch will join Meta's newly formed TBD Labs unit, headed by Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, though Tulloch's specific focus at the unit is not yet clear. Tulloch is a well-regarded machine learning expert who previously worked at Meta and OpenAI and most recently served as a key figure at Thinking Machines, the startup founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati. After a potential Thinking Machines purchase failed, Zuckerberg attempted to recruit Tulloch with a pay package potentially worth as much as $1.5 billion when factoring in bonuses and stock appreciation. Meta denied that the offer reached that level, calling the figure inaccurate and ridiculous. Meta and OpenAI are both leaning into social AI video.
