Meta’s Superintelligence Labs is reportedly set to go through another round of restructuring. As per reports, Mark Zuckerberg is planning to divide Meta’s AI-focused division into four smaller, more concentrated working teams.
An internal memo announcing the restructuring has reportedly been circulated among the employees of the Superintelligence Labs. Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang has played the key role in spreading the word as Meta’s chief AI officer.
Zuckerberg, with this reorganization, aims to make the AI team more competent and easier to manage. Meta’s AI unit underwent restructuring in the months of May and July as well — as part of which the “Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL)” was officially created.
Once the teams are divided, each of them will be assigned with different tasks — including AI research, deploying AI tools, AI data centres and hardware, as well as the top priority area — superintelligence.
Meta’s AI team, that has expanded to include around a thousand employees, could also undergo layoffs, reports claimed citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. The company is yet to confirm these plans officially.
In the last few weeks, Meta has repeatedly made it to the headlines for snagging AI talents from competing Big Tech firms like Apple and Meta. Zuckerberg has proposed salaries casually ranging from $200,000 to even a $1 billion to seasoned AI engineers employed with contemporary companies.
With Superintelligence, Zuckerberg wishes to build AI systems that can give task outputs similar to humans or even better.
In order to provide the computational and technical assistance to this advanced technology, Meta is in the process of creating a number of multi-Gigawatt (GW) clusters — the first of which named “Prometheus” is scheduled to go live in 2026.
