Meta’s big push into superintelligence research is already seeing turbulence. Within just two months of launch, key researchers like Avi Verma, Ethan Knight, and Rishabh Agarwal have left the lab, some returning to OpenAI, others exploring new ventures.
It’s not just a few names. Reports suggest at least eight employees have already moved on, including longtime Meta veterans who helped build the company’s core AI infrastructure.
Behind the scenes, Meta is also going through major restructuring, splitting AI into multiple divisions, freezing hiring, and creating disparities between new recruits and existing teams. This has sparked tension, low morale, and even talk of a “culture of fear.”
The question now:
👉 Can Meta’s ambitious superintelligence project succeed without stability inside its own walls?
