Rishabh Agrawal on Meta offer: It was far higher than $1 million

IIT Bombay graduate and AI entrepreneur Rishabh Agrawal has addressed reports claiming he turned down a million-dollar offer from Meta after working at the company for five months. Last year announcing his departure from Meta, Agarwal shared a post on X and wrote, "This is my last week at @AIatMeta. It was a tough decision not to continue with the new Superintelligence TBD lab, especially given the talent and compute density.” He continued “But after 7.5 years across Google Brain, DeepMind, and Meta, I felt the pull to take on a different kind of risk.” In the post, he said that by quitting his job, he chose to follow Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's own advice: “In a world that’s changing so fast, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk”. Now, Agarwal is back addressing reports claiming that he turned down the million-dollar offer from Meta.
