Accordingly, this is considered an effort by the American technology giant to enter an ambitious race to conquer "superintelligence" - a concept considered the pinnacle of artificial intelligence, far surpassing general intelligence (AGI) that many large technology companies are aiming for.
Billionaire Zuckerberg is said to have personally led the recruitment process of about 50 talent in AI fields from rival companies such as OpenAI and Google to achieve this bold goal. To attract the above individuals, the "technology king" Meta is willing to pay salary packages up to billions of USD, along with other special incentives.
Meta also redesigned the group's headquarters in Menlo Park, California (USA), with the aim of helping the "super Artificial Intelligence" research team work near his office to facilitate the exchange of ideas.
Alexandr Wang - one of the key figures of this project, is also the founder and CEO of Scale AI - a startup specializing in providing high-quality data to train AI models. Meta is currently negotiating to invest billions of dollars in Mr. Wang's company, as well as cooperate with Scale AI in developing advanced AI technologies.
Alexandr Wang is seen as an important factor in helping Meta improve its position in the AI race. Scale AI - with experience in supporting technology giants like OpenAI and Microsoft, could provide Meta with a strategic advantage in developing advanced AI models.
The decision to establish a "super artificial intelligence" research team is said to have stemmed from Mark Zuckerberg's disappointment with the limitations of the large language model Llama 4, which did not achieve the expected performance compared to competitors such as Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro or OpenAI's o4. On the other hand, Meta has recently been accused of fraud in announcing benchmarks to enhance the image of Llama 4.
From the above problems, along with the departure of some key personnel in the AI development department and the pressure from the rapid development speed of key competitors such as Google, OpenAI, xAI or Anthropic, ... has caused Facebook's "father" - Mark Zuckerberg to switch to "founder" mode, directly intervening and restructuring Meta's AI team, with the determination to make the group a pioneering force in the fierce technology race.
However, the path to conquering "artificial super intelligence" is still challenging, as AI researchers are still controversial about their ability to achieve AGI, let alone super intelligence.
Regardless of the outcome of this project, Mark Zuckerberg's move clearly shows that Meta not only wants to participate in the AI race but also wants to lead it. With abundant financial resources, a team of top talents and the determination of the billionaire CEO himself, perhaps Meta is betting big on a future where artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction but will become a reality.
