Meta’s Fourth AI Overhaul: Key Points and FAQ
Meta is restructuring its AI division for the fourth time in six months, forming Superintelligence Labs to drive advancements in artificial general intelligence (AGI).
The new unit will consist of four groups: a “TBD Lab” for new projects, a products team for the Meta AI assistant, an infrastructure team, and the Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) lab.
This move, led by chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, follows challenges like the underwhelming Llama 4 model launch and talent losses.
Meta is investing heavily, with a $66–72 billion budget for 2025, including a $29 billion data center project in Louisiana.
The overhaul aims to position Meta as a leader in AI innovation, potentially enhancing user experiences and business solutions, though it faces risks of instability due to rapid changes.
