Here’s the scoop: Mark Zuckerberg just unveiled Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) in an internal memo, tapping Alexandr Wang (Scale AI’s CEO) as chief AI officer and former GitHub boss Nat Friedman as co-lab lead. Over the past few months Meta has splashed out $14.3 billion on Scale AI and gone on a full-on poaching spree, snagging top talent from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google to build its next-gen AI models.

The memo drops a who’s-who list of hires—think folks behind GPT-4 variants (Trapit Bansal, Shuchao Bi, Huiwen Chang, Ji Lin, Hongyu Ren, Jiahui Yu, Shengjia Zhao), Anthropic inference guru Joel Pobar, DeepMind veterans Jack Rae and Pei Sun, plus Google Fellow Johan Schalkwyk—and hints at a serious sprint toward “superintelligence.”
