Group 1: Pang Ruoming's Departure - Pang Ruoming was offered a $200 million annual salary by Meta, raising questions about Apple's AI team's effectiveness and output [4][27]. - Despite being responsible for the Apple AI Foundation Model (AFM) team, Pang's achievements were not publicly recognized due to Apple's closed ecosystem, which delayed the release of their work until product launches [5][6][28]. - Pang expressed disappointment with Apple's conservative AI strategy and internal obstacles, leading to his decision to leave [7][8][39].
