META

Zuckerberg reorganizes Meta AI team fourth time this year

Recaply: Meta just creates four new AI teams within its superintelligence lab as Mark Zuckerberg continues reshaping the company's artificial intelligence efforts amid a heated competition with rivals like OpenAI.

Key notes:

• Meta Superintelligence Labs is now split into 4 groups: research, products, infrastructure, and language model.

• Alexandr Wang from Scale AI is leading the push, with possible spending of $72 billion this year.

• Meta is offering nine-figure pay packages to lure top AI researchers away from competitors.

• The company may shrink its AI division, though no layoffs are planned right now.

• After years of only building AI in-house, Meta is now looking at outside partnerships.

• Some staff have left, joining OpenAI and other AI startups.

Impact: Meta’s constant reshuffling shows the huge pressure to reach superintelligence before others. With record-level spending and fierce battles for talent, these new changes could decide whether Meta stays a key player in the AI race—or gets left behind by other tech giants.
