Meta has lost three top AI employees within a week amid Silicon Valley’s ongoing battle for talent.
Devi Parikh, who was Meta’s senior director of generative AI, said in an X post last week that she’d left Meta after more than seven years.
Erik Meijer, its senior director of engineering who had led the Instagram owner’s machine learning research team Probability, also announced his departure.
He said on X: “Given the incredible competitive pressure in the field, there is really no advantage to be inside a large corp if you want to build cool stuff on top of LLMs.”
Meijer added that he plans to “mess around doing independent research and see where it leads.”
Research scientist Abhishek Das, who worked on Meta’s Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team, also departed, saying he’s “excited to build something new.”
