Meta Superintelligence Labs
Meta invested $14.3 billion for 49% of Scale AI in June 2025 and installed Alexandr Wang to lead its new superintelligence division.
Why It Mattered
The deal valued Scale AI at over $29 billion and made 28-year-old Alexandr Wang Meta's Chief AI Officer, anchoring a reorganization of Meta's AI efforts into Meta Superintelligence Labs after the lukewarm reception of Llama 4. Accompanied by an unprecedented talent raid offering nine-figure packages to top researchers, it signaled Meta's pivot from open-source releases toward a tightly focused frontier lab chasing superintelligence directly.
