Meta poaches Apple AI engineer Ruoming Pang with a jaw-dropping $200 million pay package, shaking up the AI job market. Pang, who led Apple’s AI models team, joins Meta’s new superintelligence team, which is hiring top talent to build AI smarter than humans.

Ruoming Pang previously worked for Google where he led impactful projects that went on to become integral to the search giant’s operations.

Most of the money offered to new hires like Pang is tied to Meta’s stock. The actual cash includes a base salary and a joining bonus, but the biggest part depends on how well Meta performs over time.
