1 billion? No, thank you! Mira Murati's team chooses loyalty
2025-08-01 22:20:59 / MISTERE&KURIOZITETE
An unusual clash at the height of the competition for the best talent in the field of artificial intelligence.
Thinking Machines Lab founder and former CTO of OpenAI, Mira Murati, has confirmed to Wired magazine that none of her team members have accepted Mark Zuckerberg's billion-dollar offer to join Meta's new laboratory, called the "Superintelligence Lab."
According to the report, Meta tried to recruit members of Murati's team by offering compensation of between $200 million and $1 billion for each individual, figures that shocked the industry. But Murati states that: "So far, not a single person from Thinking Machines Lab has accepted the offer," underlining the team's determination to maintain independence.
Meta, on the other hand, has denied this version of events. Spokesperson Andy Stone told Wired that the company had only made offers to a limited number of people and added that the reported financial details are inaccurate. “At the end of the day, the question remains: who is creating this narrative and why?” Stone said. Thinking Machines Lab, the startup founded by Murati, has secured over a billion dollars in funding without yet launching a product, becoming one of the most followed companies in the AI sector.
Industry sources say Murat's long-term vision and strong leadership are the reason the team remains united, despite unprecedented offers from major tech corporations.
Experts emphasize that researchers at this lab choose to work free from the constraints of giant structures, with the goal of building the future of artificial intelligence from scratch.
