• These appointments follow earlier departures by Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov and Xiaohua Zhai from OpenAI’s Zurich office.
• Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth described the $100 million signing bonus claims as misleading and said such packages apply only to a few senior leaders.

• Meta plans up to $65 billion in capital expenditures this year, predominantly to accelerate development of its next-generation AI models.
