法庭文件显示，埃隆·马斯克的律师已要求美国法官阻止ChatGPT所有者OpenAI从Meta平台公司获取与 其此前974亿美元收购OpenAI资产要约相关的文件。 OpenAI上周表示，马斯克今年初曾试图拉拢其竞争对手马克·扎克伯格共同竞购这家AI公司，但Meta掌 门人并未参与。OpenAI随后要求法官命令Meta提供与任何收购要约相关的文件及通信记录。Meta请求 法官驳回该要求，并表示应直接向马斯克及其AI初创公司xAI获取相关文件。 在周二晚间的提交的文件中，马斯克的律师表示，OpenAI已从其本人及xAI处获得与收购要约相关的文 件。他们补充说，OpenAI"过度广泛的证据开示请求"与当前审判阶段无关。 然而，OpenAI及其CEO萨姆·奥尔特曼的律师请求法官驳回马斯克的主张，并表示他们并非寻求"广 泛"且"无边际"的证据开示，相关文件请求具有针对性且"时间跨度仅为数周而非数年"。"原告方试图 以'沟通主要通过口头进行'来解释缺乏要约相关文件的现象。若果真如此，则对马斯克、xAI代表及其他 联合竞标者进行取证的必要性更为迫切，"他们在文件中写道。 今年8月初，美国地区法官伊冯娜·冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯裁定 ...

梦晨 发自 凹非寺 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI 扎克伯格刚刚9位数高薪挖到的人才们，已经坐不住了。 根据连线杂志消息，两名员工在Meta工作不到一个月后，已重返之前效力的OpenAI。 甚至新任首席科学家 赵晟佳 也被曝光曾 试图重返OpenAI ，更是一度签署了聘用协议。 老员工也跟着出走，一位在Meta工作将近10年的高层也一起转投OpenAI。 从PyTorch核心开发者到生成式AI产品总监，从前沿研究员到基础设施工程师，各个关键岗位至少流失了 8位 人才。 …… 有网友开玩笑说，新的前沿实验室被命名为"TBD"（待定）是有原因的，原来是人员待定啊。 但更严重的是华尔街方面已经开始质疑：扎克伯格砸下的九位数薪酬和720亿美元AI投资，到底能不能换来回报？ 另一位离职的Meta研究员 Rishabh Agarwal 在社交媒体上公开宣布离职时写道："离开新成立的超级智能TBD实验室是个艰难的决定，特别 是考虑到这里的人才和算力密度。但在谷歌大脑、DeepMind和Meta工作了7年半之后，我感到是时候承担不同类型的风险了。" 关键人才出走的连锁反应 从PyTorch核心开发者到生成式AI产品总监，从 ...

小扎在这头疯狂挖人，结果家里的老员工纷纷跑路了？？ 最新消息，Meta万引强化学习大佬Rishabh Agarwal即将离职，还留下了一篇让人浮想联翩的小作文： 这是我在Meta的最后一周。 决定不加入新的超级智能实验室并不容易，毕竟那里人才济济、算力爆棚。但在Google Brain、DeepMind和Meta度过了7年半之后，我更想冒 险去尝试一条完全不同的路。 Meta组建超级智能团队的想法非常引人注目，但我最终选择听从扎克伯格的建议："在这个瞬息万变的世界里，最大的风险就是不去冒险。" 虽然表面上看起来双方是"和平分手"，但网友们还是从中嗅出了一丝不同寻常的味道： 把小扎的原话甩回他自己脸上，这操作绝了，瑞思拜！ 十亿可以为你买一栋房子，但买不到你的梦想。 不过猜测也好，吐槽也罢。对于Rishabh Agarwal的离职，谷歌、Meta的同事们都清一色地送上了祝福，而且还顺带回顾了他在工作期间作出的贡献。 据了解，他参与了谷歌Gemini 1.5、Gemma 2以及Meta推理模型后训练方面的重要工作，2021年还以一篇RL算法评估论文拿下了NeurIPS杰出论文奖。 所以，Rishabh Agarw ...

郭明錤称，AI将是Hypernova最重要的卖点。然而，目前整合AI与AR的应用探索仍处于早期阶段，加上 其售价高达约800美元，这可能是Meta保守看待Hypernova出货量的主要原因。此外，为了追求量产性， Hypernova采用了LCOS技术，但这同时也带来了外观设计、亮度、反应时间与续航能力等硬件设计挑 战。 天风国际证券分析师郭明錤最新发文称，Meta公司(META.US)即将推出的AI眼镜Hypernova预计将在 2025年第三季度开始量产，产品生命周期为两年，未来两年内的出货量约15-20万部。 郭明錤表示，根据高通芯片出货预估，2026年全球智能眼镜出货量将达到1,300-1,500万部。因此 Hypernova的市占率可忽略不计，该产品更像是Meta的实验性产品。 郭明錤提到，Meta发布Hypernoa的策略目的：1)抢先Apple发布，打造品牌形象、2)尽早累积生态经 验、与3)理解用户行为。 ...

This is something given to me by Mark Zuckerberg. I never understood when they said 50 billion for a plant. I said, "Dale, what kind of a plant is that?" But when you look at this, you understand why it's 50 billion.So this is one he's building in Louisiana. That's meta Facebook as people understand it to be. But look at that.That's the size of Manhattan. So that's superimposed over the island of Manhattan. I think they say 81% of Manhattan.Clark is building uh four of. ...

Here are the key points regarding Meta's AI glasses, Hypernova:1. This device is expected to enter mass production in 3Q25 with a two-year product life cycle. Shipments over the next two years are projected to be around 150,000 to 200,000 units. Based on Qualcomm's chip shipment forecasts, global smart glasses shipments are projected to reach 13–15 million units in 2026. This indicates Hypernova's market share will be negligible, positioning it more as an experimental product for Meta.2. AI will be Hypernov ...

關於Meta的AI眼鏡Hypernova的幾個重點：1. 此裝置預計在3Q25量產，產品生命週期為2年，未來2年出貨量約15-20萬部。根據Qualcomm晶片出貨預估，2026年全球智慧眼鏡出貨量約1,300-1,500萬部，這看出Hypernova的市佔率可忽略不計，故較像是Meta的實驗性質產品。2. AI將是Hypernova最重要的賣點，但目前整合AI與AR的應用之探索尚在早期階段，加上售價約800美元，這應該是Meta保守看待Hypernova出貨量的主因。此外，為追求量產性故採用LCoS，但這也衍生出外觀設計、亮度、反應時間與續航力等硬體設計挑戰。3. Meta發布Hypernoa的策略目的：1) 搶先Apple發佈，打造品牌形象、2) 儘早累積生態經驗、與3) 理解用戶行為。 ...
