I feel someone just gave them a huge $$$ offer that they couldn't say no too. Given Elon Musk is praising their efforts, and he lost a lot of his original XAI team recently, my money is on Elon.

FWIW, the article quotes people close to the researchers saying that the departure wasn't their choice.
A bit hard for him to swing if he wants to position xAI as a key Defense contractor for AI and his company is full of Chinese Nationals...
Is there a leading American AI research organization - big tech or academia - that isn't "full of Chinese Nationals"? If the DoD want an all-American SoTA model, they may have to wait for a while.
Nobody with talent wants to work with Elon or xAI
The only people he attracts are h1b candidates who have limited choices
You can broaden that. A lot of talent doesn't want anything to do with the USA.
The US is the number one destination for skilled immigrants on the planet. Nobody else pays as well.
