Thinking Machine LabThe AI startup led by former OpenAI CTO Mira Muratti has lost one of its co-founders due to Meta.
Wall Street Journal report AI researcher Andrew Tulloch announced his departure in a message to employees on Friday. A Thinking Machines Labs spokesperson confirmed Tulloch’s move to the WSJ, saying he had “decided to pursue a different path for personal reasons.”
In August, the WSJ reported Mark Zuckerberg’s aggressive AI recruitment campaign This included a proposal to acquire Thinking Machines Lab — and when that failed, Zuckerberg reportedly tried to lure Tulloch away with a compensation package that could have been worth as much as $1.5 billion over at least six years. (At the time, a Meta spokesperson said the WSJ’s description of the offering was “inaccurate and ridiculous.”)
Tulloch previously worked at OpenAI and Facebook’s AI Research Group.
