Meta announced on July 1, 2025, a major reorganization of its AI divisions, merging all teams into a single, powerful laboratory with the ambitious name "Meta Superintelligence Labs." This move, as reported by leading global media outlets including The Times and TIME Magazine, is a direct consequence of the recent multi-billion dollar deal with Scale AI and signals the companys total focus on achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The new lab will unite previously separate groups, including the fundamental research unit FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) and numerous teams working on applied AI in the companys products (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp). The goal of this centralization is to eliminate internal silos, accelerate the cycle from scientific breakthroughs to implementation, and direct all resources towards a single objective. The announcement of the new structures leadership caused the biggest stir in the tech industry. It will be headed by Alexandr Wang, the founder and now former CEO of Scale AI, which confirms the key role of data and "data factories" in Metas strategy. Nat Friedman, the former CEO of GitHub and an influential AI investor, will serve as co-lead. This duo has already been dubbed a "dream team" in the industry for tackling challenges of this scale. This restructuring is more than just an internal reshuffle. It is a clear signal that Meta is entering into a direct and uncompromising race for AGI with its main competitors, OpenAI and Google DeepMind. The company is consolidating its vast resources – computing power, data, and now unified talent – under proven leaders to achieve the most ambitious goal in modern science and technology.
