Relevance Score
Apple Inc. has lost at least four AI researchers in recent weeks, including Yinfei Yang, Haoxuan You, Bailin Wang and Zirui Wang, with several joining Meta and Google DeepMind. The departures follow a larger exodus of more than a dozen AI staff amid reorganizations and decisions to outsource foundation models to Google. The talent drain complicates Apple’s efforts to upgrade Siri and accelerate its Apple Intelligence roadmap.
