OpenAI is exploring options for an employee share sale that values the company at $86 billion, Bloomberg reported last month.
The firm behind ChatGPT has already won over talent from Google and Meta to help work on its AI chatbot.
Five former Google researchers were listed in the acknowledgments section of OpenAI’s blog post announcing the launch of ChatGPT last November.
The company had around 59 former Google employees and about 34 ex-Meta staff working for it as of February, according to data from LeadGenius and Punks & Pinstripes.

Leiki said on an episode of “The 80,000 Hours Podcast” that the company is looking for strong candidates who have a passion for making AI safer, who can think critically, understand machine learning and know how to code.
