Meta Is Building An AI Superintelligence Team After Llama 4’s Lukewarm Performance

Aside from being a massive advertisement and social media giant, Meta is also looking to take AI by storm. It has been able to create some pretty powerful AI so far, but the company wants to take things further. According to a new report, Meta is building an AI superintelligence team, and it’s been gathering people all around the industry.
Right now, there’s a bit of buzz surrounding Meta after it launched its Llama 4 models. While they represent a pretty big leap in quality over the Llama 3 models, they failed to impress many users and investors. However, Meta shares the same dream that most other AI companies have. It wants to create AGI (artificial general intelligence). This is basically AI that is as smart as, or smarter than, a human being in most areas.
You need great minds to do great things, and Meta knows this. This is why the company has been reaching out to find some of the best people to be on this new team. The company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, wasn’t quite happy with the Llama 4 models, both in performance and public reception. So, this was the inspiration behind the new team. Also, the company had to delay the launch of Llama 4 Behemoth, which is supposed to be the company’s flagship model to take on the best that the competition can offer.
So, it’s clear that there is a lot riding on this team. In fact, Zuckerberg is personally overseeing the recruitment, even going as far as to invite recruits over to his California houses for lunch and dinner.
So far, he has tapped people such as Alexandr Wang. He is an entrepreneur who established Scale AI, a company that provides data to help other companies train AI models. Along with that, Zuckerberg is going to invest several billion dollars in Scale AI.
Other recruits include infrastructure engineers, AI researchers, and other entrepreneurs. Zuckerberg is even contacting people from competitors such as Google and OpenAI, and offering them rather extravagant compensation packages to join.
So, it’s clear that Meta wants to further boost its foothold in the AI market. Fans of the company’s AI should be excited for what’s coming next. We may actually see Meta’s AI taking on the top dogs in the tech industry.
