Meta, Google, OpenAI among Big Tech firms seeing top staff leaving to launch AI startups

Top researchers from major AI companies like Google DeepMind, Meta, and OpenAI are leaving to start their own AI startups, which are raising hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. These new companies can focus on research areas that large tech firms deprioritize, such as new AI architectures and interpretability (understanding how AI systems make decisions), giving them a competitive advantage in the rapidly growing AI market.
