Big moves are happening at Meta, and this time it’s all about reshaping its AI future. What started as a rumor late last week is now official: Meta has officially torn down its existing AI structure and rebuilt it from the ground up. The company announced the formation of a new umbrella group called Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) — a bold rebrand that signals just how seriously it wants to play in the AI big leagues.
The reorganization comes less than two months after Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI, joined Meta as its new chief AI officer. And he’s already making waves. At the heart of MSL is a new team called TBD Labs, led directly by Wang. Their mission? Focus on foundation models, particularly the Llama series — Meta’s open-source large language models that saw their most recent update in April.
But that’s not all. MSL isn’t just about one shiny lab. It’s being split into four major arms:
- TBD Labs – working on foundational models (like Llama).
- Research – pushing scientific discovery in AI.
- Product Integration – making sure Meta’s apps and services actually benefit from these breakthroughs.
- Infrastructure – building the behind-the-scenes systems needed to power all of this at scale.
Why the shakeup? Simply put, Meta doesn’t want to get left behind. With rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind pushing boundaries daily, Meta needs to catch up fast. Even Mark Zuckerberg himself has been hands-on in recruiting top AI talent, showing just how high the stakes are.
This rebrand isn’t just corporate restructuring—it’s Meta putting its flag down in the AI race, making it clear it plans to compete head-on for the future of artificial intelligence.
