Meta Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Zuckerberg has officially revealed the plans to launch Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), a new AI unit that aims to position the company at the forefront of artificial general intelligence development.
Zuckerberg revealed that the MSL will bring together Meta’s existing teams working on foundation models including the open-source Llama model and its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) division. It will also launch a new lab focused on what Zuckerberg described as “the next generation” of models.
It is worth noting that MSL will be led by Meta Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, alongside Nat Friedman, who will oversee product and applied research efforts.
In his memo, Zuckerberg stated the emergence of superintelligence marked “the beginning of a new era for humanity,” and that Meta was “fully committed” to leading in its development.
“Meta is uniquely positioned to deliver superintelligence to the world,” he added, citing its scale, infrastructure, and experience in global product deployment.
Notably, the new division will include high-profile hires from leading labs such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic.
Zuckerberg also highlighted Meta’s roadmap for Llama 4.1 and 4.2, which are already integrated across Meta platforms and used by more than a billion people.
The creation of MSL signals Meta’s strategic intent to move beyond consumer-facing AI assistants and invest in foundational AI infrastructure.
The announcement also reinforces Zuckerberg’s vision of “personal superintelligence for everyone”—a competitive stake in the rapidly evolving global AI landscape.
