OpenAI has recently encountered a series of formidable challenges. Reports indicate that Meta has lured away two researchers from OpenAI, notably Lu Liu, a Chinese scientist from the 4o image generation team, thereby solidifying Meta's dominant position in the AI talent landscape. Concurrently, OpenAI's acquisition attempt of the AI programming startup Windsurf failed, leading Windsurf to forge a partnership with Google. This collaboration not only granted Google a technology license but also incorporated Windsurf's core team into its ranks. These developments have further complicated OpenAI's transformation trajectory, particularly amidst Microsoft's restructuring of OpenAI and the introduction of veto rights for new investors. Moreover, OpenAI is grappling with the dual pressures of the postponed release of GPT-5 and the swift iteration of competitor models. Despite OpenAI's efforts to actively recruit talent, its compensation packages remain uncompetitive against Meta's lucrative offers.
