AI Star Tulloch Quits Meta Amidst Product Launch
10 Sep
Summary
- Andrew Tulloch, famed for reportedly declining a massive Meta offer, has left the company.
- His departure coincided with Meta's release of its new agentic AI platform, Muse.
- Tulloch worked at Meta's Superintelligence Labs, focusing on 'superintelligence' research.
Andrew Tulloch, a prominent AI researcher, has reportedly resigned from Meta. His departure closely followed the company's release of Muse, an agentic AI platform designed for a broad audience. Tulloch was noted for his work in Meta's Superintelligence Labs.
His exit occurred just one day after Muse was made public. Muse is described as an OpenClaw-like agentic AI platform with coding and computer use capabilities. The AI platform is marketed towards general tech users, not exclusively specialists.
The specific reasons behind Tulloch's resignation are not yet known, nor is there any information about his future plans. He previously worked at Meta's TBD lab within the Superintelligence division, a central part of the company's AI initiatives.
Previously, reports from approximately one year ago suggested Mark Zuckerberg attempted to acquire Tulloch's startup, Thinking Machines Lab. It was also rumored that Zuckerberg offered another co-founder a compensation package potentially worth $1.5 billion over six years, an offer Meta has disputed.
Approximately ten months prior to his recent departure, Tulloch had accepted a position at Meta. The details of his compensation at that time are not public knowledge.
