chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg told employees on Monday that the company will soon introduce them to its newly formed superintelligence team, as per media reports.

The memo lists names and bios for the recently hired employees, many of whom came from rival AI firms OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

“We’re going to call our overall organisation Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). This includes all of our foundations, product, and FAIR teams, as well as a new lab focused on developing the next generation of our models,” Zuckerberg wrote in the memo on Monday.

“I believe this will be the beginning of a new era for humanity, and I am fully committed to doing what it takes for Meta to lead the way,” he added.

Leading the pack is Alexandr Wang, the former CEO of Scale AI, who joins as Meta’s Chief AI Officer. He’s teaming up with Nat Friedman, the former CEO of GitHub, who will lead the AI product side.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a recent podcast that Meta was recruiting AI researchers from his company, offering signing bonuses as high as $100 million.

Separately, OpenAI’s chief research officer, Mark Chen, addressed Meta’s aggressive recruitment tactics in a memo sent to employees on June 29.

“I feel a visceral feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something,” Chen wrote in his memo. “Please trust that we haven’t been sitting idly by,” he added.

Meta technology chief Andrew Bosworth told CNBC’s “Closing Bell Overtime” in an interview on June 20 that OpenAI was countering Meta’s offers.
