Meta invests $14.8 billion in Scale AI and recruits its CEO


Meta has finalized its $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI. As part of the deal, Scale AI's founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will be joining Meta and will reportedly lead its new "Superintelligence lab."

A few days ago, several reports came out that Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg has been personally overseeing the recruitment for a team he's assembling to achieve AI superintelligence. Zuckerberg, who was reportedly frustrated by the quality of Meta's Llama 4 LLM, has been inviting potential recruits to his home and offering them compensation packages worth seven to nine figures. Meta has yet to formally announce the team and to reveal what their role will be, but their ultimate goal based on the name "Superintelligence lab" is to develop AI with intellectual powers far beyond any human's.
