Here’s what’s up: Mark Zuckerberg quietly rolled out “Meta Superintelligence Labs” (MSL), folding all of Meta’s foundational AI work, product teams and FAIR research into a single org aimed at building the next wave of models. He’s tapped Alexandr Wang (CEO of Scale AI) as Meta’s chief AI officer and co-leader of MSL alongside ex-GitHub boss Nat Friedman to steer both hardcore research and applied product efforts.
In a recent internal memo (first spotted by Bloomberg), Zuckerberg also unveiled roughly two dozen top-tier hires plucked from rival labs—folks who helped build GPT-4, GPT-4o’s voice/image features, Google/DeepMind’s Gemini and other cutting-edge multimodal architectures. Think Trapit Bansal, Shuchao Bi, Huiwen Chang, Ji Lin, Jack Rae and more—heavyweights in chain-of-thought reasoning, image generation and LLM fine-tuning.
