Meta is making an investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting Chief Executive Alexandr Wang to join a team developing “superintelligence” at the tech giant.

Scale co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will lead Meta’s new superintelligence unit.

But Meta's desire for Meta AI users to share their chats with others via a social feed isn't surprising. Social media is how Meta makes its money. All of its apps are social apps. Also, bringing a social element to an AI chatbot experience could always work in Meta's favor.

Alexandr Wang cofounded Scale AI. He's about to become a very expensive hire at Meta.

Facebook owner Meta's $14.8 billion investment in Scale AI and hiring of the data-labeling startup's CEO will test how the Trump administration views so-called acquihire deals, which some have criticized as an attempt to evade regulatory scrutiny.

Mark Zuckerberg has reorganized his company’s ambitions around a hypothetical future that is suddenly the talk of Silicon Valley.

Meta's new AI tool, Devmate, is powered by models from rivals including Anthropic's Claude. It reflects how the company uses competitor AI models.

Grok cheered. Claude refused. The results say something about who controls the AI, and what it’s allowed to say.
