Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, is aggressively building massive data centers to establish a computational advantage in the race for superintelligence, focusing on "personal superintelligence" that enhances individual creativity and relationships. The company plans to invest hundreds of billions, leveraging its cash flow to outpace competitors like OpenAI, while aiming for a 2026 launch of its first supercluster, Prometheus. Zuckerberg's vision contrasts with the industry's focus on enterprise automation, emphasizing the importance of personal AI experiences.

Meta has appointed Zhao, a co-creator of ChatGPT and former research scientist at OpenAI, as the chief scientist of its newly established Superintelligence Lab. This move is part of Meta's strategy to attract top AI talent and advance its ambitions in artificial general intelligence following the lackluster performance of its Llama 4 model.
