Andrew Tulloch departure from Meta

Overview

Prominent AI researcher and former PyTorch engineer Andrew Tulloch has departed Meta. Initial reports indicated his exit followed a period of intense competition for talent, with speculation that Meta had offered him a compensation package valued at up to $1.5 billion to retain his expertise.

It was later confirmed that Tulloch is joining the AI developer Anthropic. While a Meta spokesperson characterized the reported $1.5 billion compensation figure as “inaccurate and ridiculous,” his departure coincided with a decline in Meta’s share price and occurred shortly after the company released its new AI agent, Muse.
