In recent months, Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta has successfully hired at least seven staffers from OpenAI, prompting Mark Chen, the rival company's chief research officer, to send a note to staff over the weekend saying it felt "as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something".
Apart from OpenAI, Meta's recruitment campaign has also targeted Google, Perplexity AI, and the buzzy AI video startup Runway. Mr Zuckerberg is personally leading the charge, driven by concerns that Meta is falling behind competitors in generative AI.
The latest version of Meta's AI model, Llama, ranked below heavyweight rivals in code-writing performance on the LM Arena platform, where users evaluate AI technologies.

Consumer court orders bank to pay Rs 30,000, waive loan for EMI deduction lapse
Jharsuguda: A consumer court in Jharsuguda has ordered a nationalised bank to waive the outstanding amount of a customer for service deficiency in handling EMI deductions for a term loan. In its order on Wednesday, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission also directed the bank to pay Rs 30,000 as compensation along with Rs 10,000 in litigation expenses to the complainant. The case stemmed from a Rs 5.8 lakh term loan availed by Entkhab Alam of Belpahar and his wife, Mushrat Parween, under a bank scheme in 2009. Despite maintaining sufficient balance in their savings account, the bank failed to deduct EMIs from Nov 2012 to July 2014, resulting in accumulated interest and penal charges. Alam had lodged the complaint before the commission against the bank's Brajarajnagar branch and its Sambalpur zonal office on Nov 18, 2024. The commission, headed by president Jigeesha Mishra and member Anju Agarwal rejected the bank's argument that no auto-debit consent was provided by the complainant. The ruling cited RBI guidelines that prohibit charging penal interest on late EMI payments, particularly when partial payments were made to protect the property. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025년부터 울산주민은 임플란트할때 '49만원' 혜택받는다. 울산심플치과 더 알아보기 Undo "The bank's failure to issue timely EMI instructions and subsequent charging of unnecessary penal interest clearly amounts to service deficiency," the commission stated in its order.

CPI urges Naidu to seek Central aid for mango farmers in State
Communist Party of India (CPI) State Secretary K. Ramakrishna on Friday expressed serious concern over the plight of mango farmers in Andhra Pradesh and urged Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to immediately respond and initiate steps to procure mangoes through central assistance. In a statement released on Friday (July 4), Mr. Ramakrishna highlighted that while Andhra Pradesh is renowned nationwide for its mango production, farmers are currently suffering due to lack of procurement support. He noted that the Central government has already agreed to intervene in Karnataka under the Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) for 2025–26, fixing the procurement price at ₹1,616 per quintal for up to 2.5 lakh metric tonnes of mangoes. This intervention came after Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan responded to a request from Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, representing Karnataka. 'It is unfortunate that despite Andhra Pradesh playing a key role in the Central coalition government, mango farmers here continue to face immense hardship,' he said. He criticised the TDP-led alliance government in the State for its inaction on the issue. 'It is disappointing that the State government has shown no initiative to address the crisis, even though the Central government is supporting Karnataka farmers.' Mr. Ramakrishna appealed to the Chief Minister to intervene immediately, hold discussions with the Central government, and ensure that a similar Market Intervention Scheme is implemented in the State to safeguard the interests of thousands of mango farmers.
