In an effort to counteract Meta's aggressive high-salary poaching tactics, OpenAI has announced a plan to offer each of its employees, including new hires, a bonus of up to $1.5 million over the next two years. This groundbreaking news was shared on social media by Jin Yuchen, co-founder of Hyperbolic and former executive at OctoAI. Yuchen revealed that the employees at OpenAI were particularly excited about this development, not due to the imminent release of GPT-5, but because of the generous bonus plan unveiled by the company's CEO, Sam Altman.
