Yu Jiahui Leaves Meta to Start New Company

Yu Jiahui has announced his departure from Meta to prepare for the establishment of a new company. He joined Meta last year from OpenAI and was involved in projects such as Muse Spark, Voice Mode, Muse Image, and Muse Video. Before leaving, Muse Spark had just been updated to version 1.2. Yu expressed that he has developed a strong interest in a question that is "very important for the future of humanity, but is currently explored by very few people," and he will fully commit to this exploration moving forward. The name and specific direction of the new company have not yet been disclosed. Yu previously led the perception team at OpenAI and participated in Google DeepMind's Gemini multimodal research. He was one of the core researchers recruited by Zuckerberg from OpenAI. When Yu joined Meta, it was during a fierce competition for AI talent in Silicon Valley, where Meta was reported to offer total compensation exceeding $100 million to top talents, although the company denied that all core employees received such a level. Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that Yu received an annual salary of $100 million.
