On September 3rd, foreign media reported that Apple's (AAPL.O) head of artificial intelligence robotics research had left the company to join Meta Platforms (META.O), marking the latest example of AI talent exodus from the company. Meta confirmed on Tuesday that Jian Zhang had joined its robotics studio.
According to sources familiar with the matter, three more AI researchers are leaving Apple's large language modeling team. The latest wave of departures, reportedly occurring last week, includes John Peebles, Nan Du, and Zhao Men. These individuals all came from Apple's Basic Modeling team, which has seen approximately 10 members leave in recent weeks, including the team leader. This team was central to the development of Apple's intelligent platform, launched last year as a key step in the company's pursuit of AI. (Jinshi)
