Rs 850 crore as signing bonus for an IT job? Yes. Sam Altman says rivals are trying to poach OpenAI staff with astronomical salaries
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has revealed that rival tech giant Meta is attempting to lure away his top talent with massive financial incentives—reportedly offering signing bonuses as high as $100 million (approximately Rs 850 crore). Altman made the disclosure during a podcast hosted by his brother Jack Altman, where he discussed the increasingly competitive landscape in artificial intelligence recruitment. Altman said that Meta has been reaching out to several members of the OpenAI team with aggressive compensation packages that include not just hefty signing bonuses but additional annual remuneration that exceeds those figures. Despite these enormous offers, he noted that so far, none of OpenAI's core researchers or engineers have accepted the proposals. Why the Bidding War Matters Meta's strategy comes amid a larger push to strengthen its AI division. The company, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, recently invested $14 billion to acquire a 49% stake in Scale AI—a startup that previously worked closely with OpenAI on fine-tuning ChatGPT models. This move underlines Meta's ambition to advance in the AI race, which is increasingly seen as central to global technological dominance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Had No Idea Why Boyfriend Wanted Her To Shower Twice Daily, Until She Met His Mom BimBamBam Read More Undo Industry analysts say such enormous compensation packages reflect how critical elite AI researchers have become. According to Forrester's principal analyst, the tech sector views a small group of highly skilled engineers as a crucial edge in gaining dominance over AI systems, making talent acquisition a high-risk, high-reward game. Culture Over Compensation While acknowledging Meta's aggressive recruitment tactics, Altman stressed that the culture at OpenAI plays a bigger role in retaining staff. He believes that OpenAI's mission—to create artificial superintelligence that surpasses human capabilities—is a key factor in why employees choose to stay. He argued that while large financial incentives can tempt people in the short term, they don't build sustainable workplace environments. Instead, he credits OpenAI's cohesive culture and long-term vision as the reasons why top talent continues to stay committed. Altman also shared his perspective on Meta's innovation capabilities. While he said he respects the company's competitiveness, he doesn't believe Meta excels in groundbreaking innovation. In contrast, he positioned OpenAI as being further ahead in its mission to develop truly transformative AI systems. AI as the New Tech Frontier The ongoing rivalry highlights how tech giants are investing unprecedented resources into AI. Earlier this year, OpenAI announced plans to allocate $500 billion toward building new data centers in the U.S., underlining the scale of its infrastructure ambitions. Analysts say the fierce competition stems from a broader belief that AI is on the verge of revolutionizing every industry—from healthcare to finance. As major players like Meta, OpenAI, Google, and DeepMind vie for dominance, the AI space has turned into a battleground where compensation, mission, and innovation intersect.

Common service centre at Mithapur set for July opening
Patna: A cutting-edge common service centre (CSC), being developed at city's educational hub Mithapur at a cost of Rs 30 crore, is set to open this July. Spread over 26,000 square feet, the facility promises to serve as a modern, multifunctional hub catering to the needs of the residents as well as students. Mithapur, home to six prominent universities and educational institutions, has long been the academic nerve centre of the city. The new CSC, currently in its final stages of construction, will centralise essential services, from banking to food, in a single, easily accessible location. Being developed by Patna Smart City Limited (PSCL), the G+2 (ground plus two floors) structure will offer a unique blend of practical services and leisure spaces. Priya Saurabh, PSCL spokesperson, said the facility has been conceptualised with students at the heart of its design. "We are creating a hub that caters to all basic needs of the student community while ensuring modern amenities and convenience. It is a space where they can not only complete essential tasks but also connect and unwind," she said. The ground floor of the CSC will feature a post office, municipal corporation office, banks, ATM kiosks and a large public courtyard designed to function as a community gathering space. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

The second floor will host 'Didi ki Rasoi', a women-led community kitchen initiative. The open-air café with seating arrangements and aesthetic lighting will provide a vibrant social zone where students can relax, study or collaborate. In a nod to cultural enrichment, a small amphitheatre-style space is also being planned for live performances, talks and open-mic events. Each floor has been equipped with gender-specific restrooms. The structure is also designed with sustainability in mind.

RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh cabinet on Wednesday decided to establish state Tiger Foundation Society, in a move for wildlife conservation and eco-tourism, which will focus on tiger conservation, over a concern towards deteriorating tiger population. Chhattisgarh presently has around 18-20 tigers. Chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai chaired the cabinet meeting at his official residence in Raipur and this decision was taken during the meeting. Officials said that a similar society has been operational in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh since 1996 and Chhattisgarh's Tiger Foundation Society will function under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and the state has four tiger reserves, since its foundation in year 2000. According to information, the Tiger Society will be self-financed, and will not put any additional burden on the govt exchequer. It will raise funds from individuals and institutions. This society will be directly involved in activities related to the conservation of tigers and other wildlife, the govt release said. IT added that the society will ensure availability of external funds, expertise and resources for conservation, which will provide new employment opportunities to local communities and maintain the environmental balance of the state, The statement said that the society will promote eco-tourism with the participation of the local community, which will not only increase tourism but also create employment and income opportunities for the local people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Co-Founder of Google Brain, Andrew Ng, Recommends: "These 5 Books Will Turn Your Life Around" Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Meanwhile, it will encourage environmental education, research and training, giving scope to conservationists. It will prove to be a milestone in the field of wildlife conservation in Chhattisgarh, which will protect biodiversity as well as give a strong base to promote eco-tourism, the release said. Cabinet also took other key decision and gave its nod to provide financial assistance to consumers for setting up solar rooftop plants in their houses under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana to promote renewable energy. Besides the Centre's fund, the scheme will be provided with additional financial assistance from the Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution Company Limited (CSPDCL) for installing solar rooftop plants at the homes of domestic consumers, which will vary based on the capacity of the solar plant (1 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW and above), the statement said. A total of Rs 45,000 will be provided for a 1 kW plant (Rs 30,000 as central assistance and Rs 15,000 as state aid), while for a plant of 3 kW or more, the assistance will be Rs 1,08,000 (Rs 78,000 as central assistance and Rs 30,000 as state aid), it said. Similar assistance has been proposed for housing societies/residential welfare associations. This grant amount will be received by CSPDCL in advance and will be disbursed later to the beneficiaries. A target has been set to install 60,000 such solar power plants in 2025-26, and 70,000 solar power plants in 2026-27. This will entail a financial burden of Rs 180 crore in the financial year 2025-26 and Rs 210 crore in 2026-27, officials said. CSPDCL will be the implementing agency of this scheme as per the guidelines of the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), it added. Cabinet approved the extension of certain benefits to communities that were technically excluded from the Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Scheduled Castes (SC) lists due to technical reasons. The Dehari Korva , Baghel Kshatri , Sansari Oraon, and Pavia/Pabiya communities' students will be provided state scholarships and access to hostels/ashrams under the Scheduled Tribes category. This move aims to ensure equal opportunities for students from marginalized communities. Cabinet approved the merger of the Vivekananda Institute of Social Health Welfare & Services (VISHWAS) with Ramkrishna Mission Ashram Narayanpur. This merger aims to streamline the operations of the organization and expand its impact. A major step towards agricultural education was taken as the Cabinet agreed to provide 94.290 hectares of land in Belgav village, Saja tehsil, Bemetara district, for the establishment of a Horticulture University. This land will be provided free of cost to the Horticulture Department. In an effort to promote local products and empower women's self-help groups , the Cabinet approved transfer of the 'JashPure' brand (under which herbal and mahua tea are being produced) to the state government or Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation (CSIDC) . This will help expand the market for these products, boost local raw material demand, and provide employment opportunities for tribal women. The transfer will not place any additional financial burden on the state.
