AI researcher Luke Metz joins Meta's Superintelligence Labs

AI researcher Luke Metz has joined Meta's Superintelligence Labs, reporting to Alexandr Wang, who leads Meta's AI efforts. Metz previously worked at OpenAI and Thinking Machines, and his move highlights the intense competition for AI talent.

Metz left OpenAI in 2024 to join Thinking Machines, founded by Mira Murati, then returned to OpenAI earlier this year. Now he's moving to Meta. The news was first shared by X user ArfurGrok, who has accurately reported AI personnel moves before.

Meta has launched several new models recently and made a multi-billion-dollar deal with Scale AI, bringing Alexandr Wang on board, as it continues to aggressively recruit top AI researchers.
