Zuckerberg leads Meta's most radical AI strategy

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is betting heavily on the future of general artificial intelligence (AGI). According to the latest reports, Zuckerberg is personally recruiting a "super-intelligent" team of about 50 people, with the goal of achieving general artificial intelligence (AGI) and deeply integrating it into Meta's core product lines such as social platforms, AI assistants, and Ray-Ban smart glasses.

The formation of this team is seen as a major upgrade for Meta in the field of AI. People familiar with the matter revealed that Zuckerberg not only met with top candidates in person at his residence in California, but also replanned office space at the company's headquarters to provide exclusive support for the team. This hands-on approach highlights the importance he attaches to the AGI project.

In order to inject external resources into the plan, Zuckerberg is considering investing billions of dollars in AI data service company Scale AI, which will be the largest external investment in Meta's history. It is reported that Scale AI's founder Alexander Wang is expected to join the core lineup of the "super-intelligent" team to provide key technology and data support for Meta's AI model training.

The news also pointed out that Zuckerberg recently expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of his own large language model Llama 4, and thus strengthened his direct intervention in AI affairs. He contacted potential talents around the clock through a WhatsApp group called "Recruiting Party" and personally promoted the introduction of high-end AI talents.

Zuckerberg repeatedly emphasized internally that Meta's strong advertising business can provide sufficient cash flow for AI research and development. He believes that the company has the ability to build a world-leading AI infrastructure in terms of computing power, data and talents, and will drive the next stage of product evolution and platform transformation with AGI as the core in the future.

Analysts pointed out that Zuckerberg's investment in AGI is not only a technical bet, but also likely to reshape Meta's product ecology. If the "super intelligence" team progresses smoothly, Meta will be expected to compete with competitors such as OpenAI and Google DeepMind in the future.

As AGI gradually becomes the strategic focus of Silicon Valley giants, Meta's move has undoubtedly once again ignited the technology industry's imagination of the future path of artificial intelligence. Zuckerberg's decision to abandon his "remote-first" style and personally manage the AI ​​project was also interpreted by the outside world as an important signal that he is trying to regain the right to speak in the next round of technological revolution.
