This is the goal plan that has stolen brains to OpenAi and Google

Mark Zuckerberg is distributing checks as if there were no tomorrow. The Meta CEO announced yesterday a great restructuring of its artificial intelligence division, which now aims to “superintelligence.” And to reach it, Zuckerberg is stealing engineers from OpenAi, Anthropic and Google with a carver.

Restructuring with two star signings. The new division of the company is called the SuperintenTintelligence Labs (MSL) goal, and will be led by Alexandr Wang, Excel of Scale AI. That has been the first star signing of Zuckerberg, which decided to invest 14.3 billion dollars in that company to buy an important participation (49%) but above all to get Wang’s services.

The second great signing is Nat Friedman, Exceiver of githubwhich will co -direction that new division with Wang and will focus according to the statement on AI products and also in R&D. The internal statement, to which it has had access Bloomberg And that also shares CNBCreveals more interesting details.

Up to 100 million bond. To form this new team, Meta has offered bonds of up to 100 million dollars to the most important engineers of other companies. The salaries and compensation offered in detail are not known, but the figures are simply astronomical. In Bloomberg they point out that the company has offered some investigators shares worth dozens of millions of dollars.

Stealing employees to the greats of AI. The engineers who have managed to sign a goal They come from OpenAIGoogle, Deepmind and Anthropic. These are experts who have been the great ones responsible for developing and training products such as GPT-4O, Gemini 2.5 or Claude, and precisely that experience is the one that goal wants to take advantage of making a definitive qualitative leap when it comes to dominating the market. Media like Wired have A list With 11 of those star engineers.

And Lecun, what? In that internal statement, however, There is a name that is not mentioned and that is especially relevant. We talk about Yann Lecunthat until now had been visible head of the efforts of the finish line. Lecun has been making it clear that the generative AI It is not the valid path To achieve artificial superintelligence or an AGI. His speech It has always been almost “anti -judicial”, and has been Very critical With the ability of current models, although it has always supported the launch of IA Open Source models, of which Llama is the greatest exponent.

Better spend a fortune than regret it later. According to Bloomberg Zuckerberg, he stated that Meta will spend “hundreds of billions of dollars” in AI projects in the coming years. Last summer He already indicated that “it is very likely that many companies are oversizing (their investments in AI). But, on the other hand, I think that all the companies that are investing are making a rational decision, because the disadvantage of being left behind is that you could stay out with the most important technology of the next 10 to 15 years.”

And there are also the data centers. Although there are no specific figures on the amount of money that has been spent on salaries and compensation for all that new division, the single investment in Scale AI (14.3 billion) and those hypothetical bonds of tens of millions of dollars already make clear the dimension of the bet. But that’s not all: Mark Zuckerberg himself already indicated months ago that this 2025 plan to invest 65,000 million dollars In data centers. It is a “shy” figure in front of the 75,000 What does Google plan to invest, 80,000 from Microsoft or the 100,000 Millions of dollars that Amazon estimates that it will invest in these facilities for training and inference of AI.

Call on the one hand, new models for another. Zuckerberg also explained in the statement how he has a lot of confidence in the progress of flame 4.1 and calls 4.2, which are the goal base AI. However, he says that “in parallel, we will begin to investigate in our next generation of models.”

But. The truth is that today calls is an absolute reference for researchers and startups that create their own projects from it, but its performance is behind the most capable models today. Meta has not achieved that the integration of Goal AI in WhatsApp or Instagram I just turned it into a preferential option for AI users, and Chatgpt remains the clear clear in this area.

One thing is money and another mission. This “galactic” team can have a problem as Chon Tang explained, of the Berkeley Skydeck Investment Fund, having billionaire salaries can be counterproductive in the Meta Mission
