Since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November, Meta has lost a third of its published AI researchers, WSJ reports. Under LeCun, sources told WSJ, AI researchers found it difficult to push for large language models that make programs like ChatGPT possible. Still, in a June town hall meeting with employees, Zuckerberg praised the company for its strides in AI. Meta has also lost many researchers in the last year who said they felt burned out or doubtful of the company's future in AI, according to WSJ. In an internal survey conducted between April 26 and May 10, just 26% of the Meta employees who responded said they felt confident in their company's leadership.
