Meta has recently embarked on an aggressive campaign to poach key researchers from OpenAI, resulting in the loss of several vital members of OpenAI's research team. In a letter addressed to all employees, Mark Chen, OpenAI's Chief Research Officer, vowed to confront Meta directly and announced plans to reassess compensation in an effort to retain top talent. Amidst the turmoil of employee turnover and grueling workweeks, OpenAI has decided to grant its staff a week-long break this week, allowing them to recharge, while executives will continue to fulfill their duties.
