Recently, the actions of Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg have attracted widespread attention. Disappointed by the performance of the company's latest open-source large model, Llama4, Zuckerberg decided to personally form a brand-new "superintelligence team" in an effort to regain competitive advantage in the field of artificial intelligence. The goal of this new team is to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), enabling machines to reach human-level capabilities across multiple tasks.

According to insider information, Zuckerberg has listed the formation of the new team as a top priority and has established an executive group called "Recruitment Parties" to better recruit industry talent. Meta not only offered salaries ranging from "seven to nine figures" to researchers from top AI companies like OpenAI and Google, but also successfully attracted some leading researchers to join.

Zuckerberg's personal involvement in this work stems partly from the underwhelming response to Llama4. Both company executives and external developers have questioned its performance, which made Zuckerberg quite angry, and he was displeased with accusations that he was trying to cover up product defects. To realize his vision of "outpacing all competitors," Zuckerberg even reorganized the layout of Meta headquarters so that newly joined team members could work near him.

In addition, Meta plans to invest billions of dollars in data labeling and cleaning company Scale AI, with expectations that its founder Alexandr Wang will join Zuckerberg’s "superintelligence team." Zuckerberg places great hope on this new team, believing that Meta has the potential to become a leader in the AI field, and intends to integrate AI capabilities into the company's various social products and smart devices. He believes the company's advertising business will provide sufficient funding for this goal and plans to invest tens of billions of dollars in the AI sector over the next few years.

With Zuckerberg's personal involvement and significant investment, Meta’s "superintelligence team" will undoubtedly become a focal point in the tech world, and its future development is worth keeping an eye on.
