Meta Poaching Spree Hits Apple

5 highlights

Meta poached Ruoming Pang, Apple’s head of foundation AI models, with a reported offer worth tens of millions — alongside other new additions to its new Superintelligence unit, including OpenAI’s Yuanzhi Li and Anthropic’s Anton Bakhtin.

Apple Intelligence and the AI-infused Siri have been nothing short of a disaster, but Meta is still picking off Apple talent — and leaving the tech giant even further away from any sort of internal turnaround. Meta’s poaching may be the headline, but the real story is an Apple AI brain drain coming to its lowest point.

The American Federation of Teachers partnered with Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic to create a national AI training hub that will prepare 400,000 educators to integrate the technology into classrooms across the U.S.

• The academy will offer workshops, online courses, and professional development, with its flagship campus in NYC, and plans to scale nationally.

• OpenAI is committing $10M in funding and technical support, with Microsoft and Anthropic also contributing to cover training, resources, and AI tool access.

• Teachers will gain access to priority support, API credits, and early education-focused AI features, with an emphasis on accessibility for high-needs districts.

Warp just launched the first Agentic Development Environment, and it’s already surpassed Claude Code by over +20% on Terminal-Bench — also scoring 71% on SWE-bench Verified to make it the best-performing AI coding agent on the market.
