As Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other companies race to build the most powerful AI systems, Meta had a busy summer on the hiring front. The company poached more than 50 researchers from its competitors by offering multimillion-dollar pay packages, though OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed that 'none of [OpenAI's] best people' took the offers.

At the time, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told staff that 'leaner is better.' Now, it seems that Meta isn't lowering its overall headcount by much, but rather, reorganizing its efforts.
