> The closed source players have the best researchers - they are being paid millions a year with tons of upside - and it’s hard to keep pace with that.

Llama2 came out of Meta's AI group. Meta pays researcher salaries competitive with any other group, and their NLP team is one of the top groups in the world.

For researchers it is increasingly the most attractive industrial lab because they release the research openly.

hearsay, but I've heard OpenAI pays significantly more

I agree that Meta hired some amazing researchers so we'll see what the future holds

There are L5 engineers with 3 YOE making 900k+ at OpenAI right now. Tough to say what they're paying their PhDs, but I'd imagine it's similarly nutty.

FAANG pays exceptionally well (I'd know), but what's being offered at OpenAI is eye-popping, even for SWEs. I think they're trying to dig their moat by absorbing the absolute best of the best.

Most of that is in their equity comp which is quite weird in how it works. So those numbers are highly inflated. The equity is valuable only if you sell it or if OpenAI makes a profit. Selling it might be harder given they're not a public company. On top of that, the profit is capped so there is a limit to how much money can be made from it. So while it's 900k on paper, in reality, it might not be as good as that. https://www.levels.fyi/blog/openai-compensation.html
