Zuck's AI Gambit: Meta's Billions, Top Talent & AGI Dreams
Mark Zuckerberg BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Mark Zuckerberg has dominated tech headlines and Silicon Valley gossip alike these past few days with a flurry of bold moves that are being described by sources like AFROTECH and Bloomberg as a once-in-a-decade shift for both Meta and the broader AI landscape. On the business front, Zuckerberg has taken personal charge of launching what insiders are calling a superintelligence team, handpicking around 50 of the most elite AI engineers and researchers in the world. He’s been holding private recruitment sessions at his homes in Lake Tahoe and Palo Alto, offering jaw-dropping compensation packages—nine figures in some cases—just to secure the top talent, according to Bloomberg and Times of India. His target: building artificial general intelligence, or AGI, that can match or even surpass human abilities across every domain, bringing Meta into direct competition with OpenAI and Google.
This elite group will work right alongside Zuckerberg at Meta’s Menlo Park headquarters, part of a massive $10 to $15 billion partnership and investment in ScaleAI—possibly the company’s biggest AI bet to date. ScaleAI’s 28-year-old founder Alexandr Wang is expected to lead the project as soon as the deal closes, given his proven expertise in large language model development, as reported by Fortune and Fox Business. This comes amid frustration inside Meta over the reception of its Llama 4 model and a sense from Zuckerberg that the AI race waits for no one.
Publicly, Zuckerberg appeared at the recent LlamaCon 2025, the company’s AI developer conference, where he signaled to the world—and to Wall Street—that the Metaverse era is officially over. In his words, Meta is now an all-in AI company, with the “metaverse” term dropped entirely from his strategic vocabulary. According to coverage from the BioSnap podcast and The Register, he outlined Meta’s pivot to AI: improved advertising, business messaging, Meta AI, and a new line of Oakley-branded smart glasses featuring AI-powered heads-up displays. Sales of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses have reportedly tripled year over year, and Meta plans to launch higher-end models with even more sophisticated AI integration later this year.
On social media, the conversation has been buzzing about Meta’s new AI Discover feed, but coverage from Business Insider notes the feature has so far devolved into a mix of silly, mundane, and sometimes deeply personal user overshares, raising questions about how or whether this AI product will reshape everyday online life.
The headlines? “Zuckerberg Bets Big On Superintelligence Team,” “Meta Eyes $15 Billion AI Investment,” and “Mark Zuckerberg Declares Age of Metaverse Over.” If even half of this pans out, Zuckerberg’s latest moves could mark the next defining chapter in his already-legendary career.
