A photo posted by Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang reunited three former Hudson River Trading (HRT) interns; their 10-person cohort, recruited in winter 2015, has produced at least four unicorns. According to PANews, Wang dropped out of MIT to found Scale AI, in which Meta invested $14.3 billion, and now serves as Meta's chief AI officer. Scott Wu, a three-time International Olympiad in Informatics gold medalist, created AI coding tool Devin; his company is valued at $48 billion. Jeff Yan first heard about Bitcoin during his HRT internship and later built Hyperliquid with a team of 11 and no outside funding. The group has been described online as a new generation of the “PayPal Mafia.”
