Meta Bets Big on AI: $14.3 Billion Deal Brings Scale AI’s CEO Alexandr Wang to Lead ‘Superintelligence Labs’
Meta has once again grabbed global attention by making one of the boldest moves in tech history—investing $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in Scale AI, valuing the San Francisco-based startup at a staggering $29 billion.
As part of the landmark deal, 28-year-old Alexandr Wang, founder and CEO of Scale AI, has officially joined Meta to spearhead its newly launched “Meta Superintelligence Labs.” This division will serve as the company’s frontline in the high-stakes race toward achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Wasting no time, Wang has already reorganized the unit into four specialized teams, each focusing on key areas of AI advancement. Notably, his leadership signals a strategic departure from Meta’s long-standing open-source-first philosophy—a shift that underlines the company’s evolving priorities.
With Wang at the helm, Meta appears determined to accelerate its ambition, placing innovation, secrecy, and speed above tradition. The move not only strengthens Meta’s position in the AI arms race but also cements Mark Zuckerberg’s intent to dominate the next frontier of intelligence.
