Meta Restructures AI Group Again in Pursuit of Superintelligence

* FAIR - Run by Yann LeCunn

* Product - Run by Nat Friedman (meta.ai and the ai integration into fb/whatsapp/insta)

* Infra - Run probably through facebook's CTO org

Looks like Wang's remit just shrunk significantly and he isn't going to get to run all of Meta AI. Question is what he adds to the LLM training team other than knowledge of what OpenAI/Anthropic did 5 months ago, and if he gets sidelined after that.

I'm assuming we'll see an announcement in a year that Wang is going to pursue other opportunities.

The group, known as Meta Superintelligence Labs, or MSL, will now have four parts:

  * TBD Lab, led by Wang, which will oversee Meta’s large language models, including the Llama tools that underpin its AI assistant.
  * FAIR, an internal AI research lab that’s existed within the company for more than a decade. The team, whose name stands for fundamental AI research, is focused on longer-term projects.
  * Products and Applied Research, a team led by former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, which will take those models and research and put them into consumer products.
  * MSL Infra, which will focus on the expensive infrastructure needed to support Meta’s AI ambitions.
