Mark Zuckerberg added another big name to Meta Platforms’ new “Superintelligence” AI division, hiring a top Apple AI researcher as part of a weekslong recruitment push, according to a person familiar with the hire.
Ruoming Pang is the first big name from Apple to jump over to Meta’s Superintelligence Lab, a blow to the iPhone maker, which is working to improve its own AI products. Pang, who led Apple’s foundation model team, is set to receive a pay package from Meta in the tens of millions of dollars, said the person.
