Meta has recently undertaken significant changes in its artificial intelligence division, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg initiating a vigorous recruitment drive to bolster his "superintelligence team" after the Llama 4 launch fell short of expectations. The company successfully hired over 50 AI experts, including former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, from rival organizations such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, offering substantial financial incentives. Following this intense hiring period, Meta implemented a hiring freeze, which it attributed to internal budgeting and planning.
