Overview
- Andrew Tulloch informed employees of his departure on Oct. 10, and a Thinking Machines Lab spokesperson said he left for personal reasons.
- Multiple outlets report Tulloch has joined Meta, with CoinCentral saying the company confirmed his recruitment, though Meta has not detailed his new role.
- Axios reports he will join Meta’s newly formed TBD Labs under Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, while his specific focus remains unclear.
- The Wall Street Journal previously reported an offer that could reach about $1.5 billion over six years, a characterization Meta called inaccurate and ridiculous.
- Tulloch’s move follows Meta’s unsuccessful attempt to acquire Thinking Machines and reflects a broader hiring campaign that industry figures say includes unusually large incentives.
