Meta Takes Over OpenAI?
One in five OpenAI employees now come from Meta, reshaping the company’s culture and strategy. |
A new report says over 600 OpenAI staff are ex-Meta workers, bringing Facebook-style growth tactics that are changing how the AI startup operates. Some insiders worry OpenAI is becoming too much like Meta as it shifts from research to consumer growth. |
Over 600 of OpenAI’s 3,000 employees are former Meta staff, including CEO Fidji Simo of applications.
Internal talks show concern about Meta-style culture, with ex-CTO Mira Murati leaving over user growth issues.
Teams are even exploring ChatGPT’s memory for personalized ads, an idea once called “dystopian” by CEO Sam Altman.
This shows how OpenAI’s rapid expansion is reshaping its core identity. The company’s new growth-focused direction could boost success but may also risk losing the innovative, research-first spirit that made it unique. |

OpenAI Enters the Music Scene
OpenAI teams up with Juilliard students to build a new AI for music creation. |
OpenAI is developing advanced AI models that can generate music from text, working with Juilliard students to label and annotate musical pieces. This move positions OpenAI against fast-growing startups like Suno and Udio. |
Juilliard students are helping OpenAI create training data for music generation across instruments and genres.
The new tech could make text-to-song creation possible, from adding layers to vocals to making full soundtracks.
This marks OpenAI’s third big step into music AI, after MuseNet and Jukebox.
This shows OpenAI’s growing plan to cover every form of creativity, with music now joining text, image, and video. If added to ChatGPT’s huge user base, it could change how people create and use music with AI. |
