DeepSeek R1 launched in early 2025 with an efficient Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture that stunned Meta with surprise. The failure to copy DeepSeek technology into Llama 4 made Mark Zuckerberg lose faith in the current AI team.
He founded the Superintelligence Lab - a secret project in Menlo Park to restructure Meta's entire AI strategy. Meta spent more than $14 billion to acquire Scale AI and invited Alexandr Wang to be Chief AI Officer.
The headhunting war has begun, with salary packages of up to $300 million aimed at luring talent from OpenAI, xAI, Tesla, Google and Apple. However, many brilliant minds from Thinking Machines Lab and Safe Superintelligence declined Meta's invitation. Zuckerberg wants to build a small elite team to create superintelligent AI that surpasses humans.
Despite skepticism from Wall Street, he believes this multi-billion dollar investment will help Meta lead the new AI era. Dear readers, please watch more videos : AI Trash Cleaning | Hanoi 18:00
