"Meta just made the biggest reorganization of its artificial intelligence operations to date. Business Insider obtained the full email sent by 28-year-old Alexandr Wang, the leader of Meta Superintelligence Labs, or MSL, to all Meta employees who work on AI. As the AI arms race continues, has been assembling an all-star team of talent, trying to poach researchers from rival AI labs with massive offers as it races to build " personal superintelligence.""
"Tensions have already emerged within the newly formed team between the lavishly compensated new hires and the existing researchers, some of whom have threatened to quit, Business Insider previously reported. In the recent email sent to employees, Wang wrote that "superintelligence is coming," and to "take it seriously," Meta needs to make major changes. That includes establishing four distinct teams that focus on research, training, products, and infrastructure."
Alexandr Wang, age 28, issued an internal reorganization that splits Meta's AI work into four teams focused on research, training, products, and infrastructure. Most MSL division heads now report directly to Wang, including high-profile hires such as former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman. The reorganization follows rapid talent acquisition aimed at building personal superintelligence and has created pay and culture tensions between new hires and existing researchers. Meta has already dissolved two major AI teams in under six months. Wang warned that changes can be "disruptive" but framed them as necessary to accelerate progress toward superintelligence. Research is being centralized across TBD Lab and FAIR.
