Zuckerberg is making two massive moves simultaneously: acquiring 49% of Scale AI for $14.8 billion, and secretly building a new AI lab focused on superintelligence.
The Scale AI Deal
Scale AI is the world's leading AI data labeling company. Clients include OpenAI, Google, and the US military. The $14.8B deal gives Meta:
- Industrial-scale, high-quality training data production
- Alexandr Wang (Scale AI founder) joining the new lab
- Control over a critical AI supply chain resource
The Secret Lab
~50 top experts, one goal: superintelligence. Small team, massive resources.
Meta's Three-Layer Strategy
| Layer | Action | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Scale AI acquisition | Control training data |
| Research | Secret lab | Chase AGI |
| Product | Llama open source | Developer ecosystem |
Meta is no longer just a "fast follower" in AI. This is a full-stack AGI play.
