By Mark Gurman

  • Meta Platforms Inc. is hiring Frank Chu, an Apple Inc. artificial intelligence executive, to join Meta Superintelligence Labs, according to people familiar with the matter.
  • Chu is the latest Apple employee working on AI models to join Meta, following several colleagues, including the head of Apple's AI models team.
  • Meta is slowing its recruitment, with a memo stating that the company is "temporarily pausing hiring across all MSL teams, with the exception of business critical roles", according to a memo seen by Bloomberg News.

For Apple, the exodus has brought more upheaval to an AI effort that’s already struggling. The company has been playing catch-up with peers and delayed a high-profile update to Siri.

After an executive shake-up, the company is now considering using third-party AI models for the voice assistant — rather than its in-house technology. That development, along with Pang’s departure, sent shockwaves through Apple’s AI models team, spurring the talent drain.
