In a new and dramatic relocate, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is building the most aggressive relocate in his AI arm race. Zuckerberg is now reorganising the company’s artificial ininformigence operations by restricting the Meta Superininformigence Labs (MSL) into four distinct teams. As reported by Business Insider the company outlined the relocate in an internal memo from the newly appointed chief of AI Alexandr Wang. The internal email, sent by Alexandr Wang, the 28-year-old head of Meta Superininformigence Labs (MSL), outlines a dramatic restructuring aimed at accelerating Meta’s pursuit of “personal superininformigence”—AI that can outperform humans across ininformectual domains.According to a report by Business Insider, the reorganization splits the company’s AI efforts into four specialized teams—TBD Lab, FAIR, Products & Applied Research, and MSL Infra. However, another important update shared in the memo revealed that nearly all the senior leaders in Meta’s AI ecosystem will now directly report to Wang. This list also includes high-profile hires like former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, who will lead product integration, and engineering veteran Aparna Ramani, who will oversee infrastructure.
From Scale AI to Meta’s AI architect
Alexandr Wang, founder of the AI startup ScaleAI shared a bold mandate in order to accelerate Meta’s race toward superininformigence. His memo dissolves the AGI Foundations group and redistributes its talent across the new structure, emphasizing speed, clarity, and centralized execution. “Superininformigence is coming,” Wang wrote. “And in order to take it seriously, we necessary to organize around the key areas that will be critical to reach it — research, product, and infra”.The memo marks a clear consolidation of power and vision under Wang, reflecting Meta’s urgency to compete with rivals like OpenAI and Google.

Superininformigence is coming, and in order to take it seriously, we necessary to organize around the key areas that will be critical to reach it — research, product and infra. We are building a world-class organization around these areas, and have brought in some incredible leaders to drive the work forward.
As we previously announced, Shengjia Zhao will direct our research efforts as Chief Scientist for MSL, Nat Friedman will lead our product effort and Rob Fergus will continue to lead FAIR. Today, I’m pleased to announce that Aparna Ramani will be relocating over to MSL to lead the infrastructure necessary to support our ambitious research and product bets.
As part of this, we are dissolving the AGI Foundations organization and relocating the talent from that team into the right areas. Teams whose work naturally aligns with and serves our products will relocate to Nat’s team. Some of the researchers will relocate to FAIR to double down on our long term research while teams working on infra will transition into Aparna’s org. Anyone who is altering teams will obtain an update from their manager or HRBP today, if you haven’t already.
We’re building three key modifys to our organizational design that will assist us to accelerate our efforts.
- Centralizing core, fundamental research efforts in TBD Lab and FAIR.
- Bolstering our product efforts with applied research that will work on product-focutilized models.
- Establishing a unified, core infrastructure team to support our research bets.
The work will map to four teams:
TBD Lab will be a tiny team focutilized on training and scaling large models to achieve superininformigence across pre-training, reasoning, and post-training, and explore new directions such as an omni model.
FAIR will be an innovation engine for MSL and we will aim to integrate and scale many of the research ideas and projects from FAIR into the larger model runs conducted by TBD Lab. Rob will continue to lead FAIR and Yann will continue to serve as Chief Scientist for FAIR, with both reporting to me.
Products & Applied Research will bring our product-focutilized research efforts closer to product development. This will include teams previously working on Assistant, Voice, Media, Trust, Embodiment and Developer pillars in AI Tech. Nat will continue to lead this work reporting to me.
MSL Infra team will unify elements of Infra and MSL’s infrastructure teams into one. This team will focus on accelerating AI research and production by building advanced infrastructure, optimized GPU clusters, comprehensive environments, data infrastructure, and developer tools to support state-of-the-art research, products and AI development across Meta. Aparna will lead this team reporting to me.
Ahmad and Amir will continue reporting to me focutilizing on strategic MSL initiatives they will share more about later.
I recognize that org modifys can be disruptive, but I truly believe that taking the time to obtain this structure right now will allow us to reach superininformigence with more velocity over the long term. We’re still working through updated rhythms and our collaboration model across teams, including when we’ll come toobtainher as a full MSL org.
Thank you all for your flexibility as we adapt to this new structure. Every team in MSL plays a critical role and I’m excited to obtain to work with all of you.
