In a bold move to dominate the escalating AI race, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has assembled a new “superintelligence” team with an audacious goal: surpass human intelligence. This high-stakes gambit comes on the heels of disappointing results from the company’s latest large language model, Llama 4, released just two months ago.
Meta is betting big on artificial general intelligence (AGI), committing a staggering $65 billion to AI initiatives through 2025. The tech giant is constructing sprawling data centers and dangling seven-to-nine figure compensation packages to lure top minds from rivals like OpenAI and Google. The goal? Develop AI systems that match or exceed human cognitive abilities across a wide range of tasks.

To bolster this moonshot endeavor, Meta has enlisted Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang. The partnership positions Meta to tap into Scale AI’s high-quality training data, a critical resource for advanced model development. Rumors suggest multi-billion dollar investments are on the table to cement this strategic alliance.
The superintelligence lab builds on Meta’s recent collaborations, including “Defense Llama,” a military-grade language model co-developed with Scale AI and the U.S. Department of Defense. As the AGI race heats up, Meta’s all-in approach underscores the soaring stakes and intensity of competition in the AI arena.
