Former OpenAI Stargate Leaders Plan to Join Meta Platforms

Three key players in OpenAI’s massive effort to set up hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of artificial intelligence data center capacity are joining Meta Platforms Inc., according to people familiar with the matter.

Peter Hoeschele, who played a critical role in OpenAI’s Stargate initiative, is one of the new hires, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the move isn’t yet public. He’ll be joined by Shamez Hemani, who worked on computing strategy and business development, and Anuj Saharan, another leader in the computing organization. The Information reported Thursday that the three had left OpenAI.
