Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of Thinking Machines Lab, has reportedly left the AI startup and joined Meta.
The move was reported by the Wall Street Journal and confirmed in coverage by TechCrunch, which noted a Thinking Machines Lab spokesperson acknowledging Tulloch’s departure.
Tulloch reportedly informed colleagues he is departing Thinking Machines Lab to join Meta. Thinking Machines, led by former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati, has not disclosed further details about the transition or Tulloch’s new remit at Meta.
