The head of Meta is looking for talent in the field of artificial intelligence.

Mark Zuckerberg writes personal emails to Google DeepMind AI experts to lure them to Meta, The Information writes, citing two people who viewed the messages.

One of the people said that Zuckerberg wrote to researchers that artificial intelligence is very important for Meta and expressed hope that they would join the company. Additionally, some candidates were offered jobs without interviews.

Aggressive hiring efforts appear to be part of a concerted strategy to make Meta a dominant player in the AI ​​space. In January, Zuckerberg said the company plans to have more than 340,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs by the end of 2024 (Nvidia sells H100 chips for $25,000 to $30,000, according to analysts at Raymond James, and they could fetch more than $40,000 on eBay) if Meta paid the minimum, it would spend about $9 billion on it), and that Meta's computing infrastructure would contain “nearly 600 thousand H100 compute equivalents if other GPUs are included.”

Meta is also looking to differentiate itself from competitors like OpenAI with its open-source approach—the company released the public version of its large language model Llama 2 in July.

“In terms of investment priorities, artificial intelligence will be our biggest area of ​​investment in 2024 for both engineering and computing,” Zuckerberg told investors on an earnings call last year.
