Weiyao Wang, a former employee of Meta, has joined Thinking Machines Lab (TML) from the company after eight years. His move comes as TML expands on multiple fronts, including signing a multibillion-dollar cloud deal with Google, giving it access to Nvidia's latest GB300 chips and making it one of the first startups to run on the hardware. This follows reports that Meta has been poaching seven of TML's founding members, including Soumith Chintala, who spent 11 years at Meta and co-founded PyTorch, the open-source deep learning framework that now underpins most of the world's AI research. TML has also been hiring more researchers from Meta than any other single employer, according to a review of LinkedIn profiles. The company is currently valued at $12 billion, compared to the record-breaking valuations of OpenAI and Anthropic.
