The hiring spree and restructuring come as pressure mounts on Zuckerberg to justify Meta's massive capital spend on AI infrastructure

After a poaching frenzy that’s brought in talent from rival firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, Zuckerberg announced a team of nearly two dozen researchers in an internal memo.

The new organization, called Meta Superintelligence Labs, will house Meta’s fundamental AI research team, also known as FAIR; the team that currently builds the company’s Llama models; and the team that develops Meta’s AI products—as well as a new lab focused on “developing the next generation of our models.”
