On July 9th, Greg Brockman, co-founder of OpenAI, shared an internal Slack message revealing that the company had triumphantly onboarded four distinguished engineers from rival firms. Among the new recruits is David Lau, ex-Vice President of Software Engineering at Tesla, who will contribute to OpenAI's 'Scaling Team'. Joining him are Udai Rudalaju, previously the head of infrastructure engineering at xAI and X; Mike Dutton, a former infrastructure engineer at xAI; and Angela Fan, a former AI researcher at Meta. This influx of talented individuals is poised to significantly bolster OpenAI's technological prowess.
