Amid the fierce competition for top talent in the global artificial intelligence field, the industry has once again seen a major personnel shift. According to sources confirmed by Axios, renowned AI researcher Luke Metz has officially left OpenAI and joined Meta's Superintelligence Labs, starting his new role this week.
Tracing Metz's career path reveals that he is a key technical talent who frequently moves between top AI laboratories. He left OpenAI in 2024 and then joined Thinking Machines, founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati; however, earlier this year, he chose to return to OpenAI. His latest move to Meta marks his official joining of the AI business team led by Alexandr Wang, with his latest developments first disclosed by the well-known X platform tipster ArfurGrok.
For Meta, hiring Luke Metz is another key move in its continuous large-scale recruitment of top AI talents worldwide. Since Meta invested billions of dollars in a partnership with Scale AI and welcomed its former CEO Alexandr Wang, the company has consistently maintained high-level investments in top talent, constantly expanding its elite research team to accelerate its strategic layout in the next generation of artificial intelligence.
