During the All -Hands meeting across the company on Thursday, some of the top officials of Meta were asked about the “$ 100 million sign -in bonus” that the CEO of Open Sam Altman It has been claimed that they are offering to defeat their employees.
“Sam is just being dishonest here,” Andrew Bose WorthMeta CTO said when asked about the remarks of Altman at the meeting. “He is suggesting that we are doing this for everyone … Look, you guys, the market is hot. It’s not so hot.”
Ultman has said of his brother’s number on the pod cast that the headline of “100 million bonuses” has rightly become a meme on social media. Bosworth told Meta Worth today, “The thing that Sam neglects to mention is that they are competing with all these offerings, making a small market for very few, very few people who are for senior, senior leadership roles”, building AI team in New Sprintilus. “This is not a common thing that is happening in the AI’s place. And of course, it is not mentioning what the actual terms of the offer are. This (a) is not a sign on bonus. These are all different things.”
After that, Bosworth cited recent stories about a handful of open researchers who are joining the meta and said, “There are many more in the pipeline that I cannot announce or share.”
“Sam is known for exaggeration, and in this case, I know exactly why he is doing it, the reason is that we are able to get the talent from the open,” he said. “She’s not happy with her.”
At a Thursday meeting, there were a lot of employees from the company’s engineering “boot camp”, a multi -week -on -boarding program that assigns new jobs to different teams. Bose Worth is laughing and laughing by the audience. “You made a very good decision. The camp is ok where it should be.”
The Bose Worth was not the only Meta -executive to mention the open during the internal meeting. CPO Chris Cox It was also acknowledged that, while Meta AI has a billion monthly users, its engagement “is not as deep as people are using Chat GPT.” He told employees that the standstone meta AI app has only 450,000 daily users, and “many of these people” are using it to manage their ray bean meta glasses.
“We are not going well after Chat GPT and will try to do better to help you write our emails at work,” Cox said. “We need to distinguish here by not focusing on productive ability here, which you see by acting and open and open and Google. We are on entertainment, how we live with friends, how we live our lives, all the things we perform well, which is a big part of the strategy.”
Meta refused to comment on the internal meeting.

When I talked Jason Rogulo On Thursday, I wanted to understand why he was sued the most influential company in Tech.
Rogolo’s AI Device Startup, Iov has recently received a temporary prevention order that prevents Openi from using for the “IO” brand Sam Altman’s New Hardware Division with Joni ive. In response, Altman suggested in his X account that Rogolo filed his trademark case as Openi refused to invest or buy in Iow, which is ready to release his first AI -driven headphone in the ear later this year.
Rogolo recognizes (and confirms the documents submitted to the court) that it forced the Altman to invest several times. He also discussed acquisition with members of the IO team this year. Nevertheless, he says his case is not part of any revenge crusade, but rather aimed at eliminating any confusion between his upcoming Io One Headphone and the IO of the reversal.
Trade mark is a dozen one penny, but it is broken for good. It is intensely interested in the construction of the reversal and ive (the first device will not be “not able to wear” or “wear”), and this is a ravage test of how you feel about the reversal, which is undoubtedly polarizing.
“Rogolo told me about Altman,” I made a big change in the opinion of the boy. “While I was meeting him, I was in Sam Altman’s spelling that he was a great businessman and a really interesting person. He was immediately broken after his public announcement (IO).”
“Am I getting bad here?“Remember Rogolo thinking.” When I talked to her on the phone and she threatened Sopranos to prosecute me, I was just like, ‘Well, this guy is a bad friend.’ ‘Now, they say that Altman is “trying to connect the arguments in the public circle” and “I am trying to defeat me by a money -grown or rough, and I just don’t think that”
Open spokesman, “This is a baseless trademark dispute, not a matter about stolen ideas or technology.” Banana wood Says in a joint statement with me. “Ivo demo in May 2025 a product that did not work properly or did not meet our standards that we would get IYO. We passed. Jason Rogolo was well aware of the name and never raised concerns before our announcement.”
He recently thanks to his manufacturer, Pagittern, and millions of dollars raised from a billionaire, whose name he denied, says Rogolo says Ivy has enough runway to stay with him at the end of 2026. When I ask if the device that he teased in his viral ted talk is shipping at the end of this year last year, he is “mainly living in this factory.”
Although she is ready to go through a legal discovery process and prepare her case for trial, she hopes the open will “remove her guns” and “will be completed like adults on the product.”
“I’ll meet them in the market,” he tells me. “We will try to launch both things that are really cool and see if we can serve our users. They will only compete fairly and stop using the name. They have some of the best designers in the world, seemingly. Think about a new name. You can’t use it just before, and I have used to use it since 2019.”

So far, the runway generative is known to bring AI to Hollywood. Now, the start of the Billion 3 billion is setting its eyes on the gaming industry.
According to the CEO, this week, I had access to a new interactive gaming experience that the runway plans to make everyone available next week. Crystable Wallezvilla. Consumer -facing products are currently a very naked bonus, which has a chat interface that only supports text and image generation, but Welnezuela says video games are coming up later this year. He says runway is also discussing with gaming companies about using their technology and access to their datases for training.
Based on its recent conversation, Velzola believes that the gaming industry is in a similar position with Hollywood when it was first introduced to the Generative AI. There was considerable resistance, but over time, AI has been gradually adopted in more areas of the productive process. Valenzola says Amazon’s recent show, David’s houseMade in a part of the runway technology, and that his company is working with “many major studio” and “most Fortune 100 companies”.
He says, “If we can help a studio make a movie 40 % faster, we will be able to help sports developers faster sports.” “They are awake, and they are moving faster than that I would say that the studios were running two years ago.”
Naturally, I can’t let Welnezuela go away from our zoom call without asking about the recent acquisition conversation with Zuckerberg: “I think we have more interesting intellectual challenges to get free and stay free now.”
No one knows what the original AGI means. It is very clear from this excellent deep dive Information In an agreement with Microsoft’s Open. There has been very good reporting about the negotiations between the two companies, but this piece has so far I have seen that the most comprehensive and detailed. It states that Microsoft will not have special access to Openi’s IP if it receives “coffee AGI”, which is explained according to the contract when the Openi board determines that the AI has maximum profitable investors. Surprisingly, the Open does not really need to make this profit.
Two Under the Radar Deals: Although he did not receive a lot of headlines, Open made an interesting partnership this week and a small achievement. The first is the contract applied to the “next generation, the AI -powered experiments in vehicles”. The second is the acquisition of a small team in the crossing minds, an AI startup that helped e -commerce companies offer more personal product recommendations. “Personally, it is a unique honor to join the Open research team to focus on the recovery of agents and information.” Alexander Aubic He writes “These are especially the problems I have always been emotional about: How does the system learn, argue and recover on how to learn knowledge on a scale, in real time.”
