Thinking Machines Lab<\/a>, the AI startup led by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has lost one of its co-founders to Meta.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal reports<\/a> that AI researcher Andrew Tulloch announced his departure to employees in a message on Friday. A Thinking Machine Labs spokesperson confirmed Tulloch\u2019s departure to the WSJ, saying he \u201chas decided to pursue a different path for personal reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in August, the WSJ reported that Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s aggressive AI recruiting blitz<\/a> included an offer to acquire Thinking Machines Lab \u2014 and when that failed, Zuckerberg reportedly tried to lure Tulloch with a compensation package that could have been worth up to $1.5 billion over at least six years. (At the time, a Meta spokesperson said that the WSJ\u2019s description of the offer was \u201cinaccurate and ridiculous.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Tulloch previously worked at OpenAI and Facebook\u2019s AI Research Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
