Meta has reportedly invested billions of dollars into AI startup Scale AI and hired its CEO, Alexandr Wang, to lead a new AI research lab. So what does that mean for Meta and the rest of the AI ecosystem?

Meta’s decision to create an ambitious new “superintelligence” AI research lab headed by Scale AI’s Alexandr Wang is a bold bid for relevance in its fierce AI battle with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Meta is launching a new lab to pursue 'superintelligence' and is in talks for a multi-billion dollar deal with Scale AI, a dramatic move to counter a recent talent exodus, model delays, and intense competition from its Big Tech rivals.
