Meta names Shengjia Zhao as chief scientist of AI superintelligence unit

Meta Mark Zuckerberg’s CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg announced on Friday that the former researcher at Openai Shengjia Zhao will lead research efforts in the new AI unit of the company, Meta Superinteigence Labs (MSL). Zhao contributed to many of the largest Openai, including ChatGPT, GPT-4, the first thinking model in the company, O1.

“I am enthusiastic about the participation that Schenge Zhao will be the chief scientist in Superntelligence Meta Labs,” Zuckerberg said in a post on the topics on Friday. “Shangjia participated in the founding of the new laboratory and our main world was from the first day. Now that our recruitment has become fine and our team is meeting, we decided to give the official character to its leadership role.”

Zhao will appoint a MSL research agenda under the leadership of Alexandr Wang, former CEO of Scale Ai, who was recently appointed to lead the new unit.

Wang, who had no research background, was seen as a somewhat unconventional option to lead the artificial intelligence laboratory. The addition of Zhao, a respectable research leader known for developing AI’s border models, wanders in the leadership team. For more unit filling, Meta rented many high -level researchers from Openai, Google DeepMind, Safe Supernkligence, Apple and Anthropic, as well as withdrawing researchers from the AI Basic Laboratory (Fair) in Meta and AI unit.

Zuckerberg notes in his position that Zhao is a pioneer in many breakthroughs, including the “new scaling model”. The CEO of Meta is likely to refer to Zhao’s work in Openai’s thinking model, O1, which has been inserted as a basic shareholder alongside the co -founder of Openai Ilya Sutskever. Meta currently does not offer a competitor to O1, so thinking models of artificial intelligence are a major field of focus for MSL.

Information stated in June that Zhao will join the Meta Superintelligence Laborators, along with three other researchers in Openai – Jiahui Yu, Shuchao Bi and Hongyu Ren. Meta has also recruited Trapit Bansal, another researcher at Openai who worked in thinking models of artificial intelligence with Zhao, as well as three employees from the Zurich office in Openai who worked on multi -media.

Zuckerberg has made great efforts to set MSL for success. Meta CEO is working on a recruitment spray to employ his SuperIntellege Laboratory, which necessitated sending personal email messages to researchers and inviting his horizons to Estate Lake Tahoe. According to what was reported, Meta offered some researchers to packets of compensation of eight and nine numbers, some of which are the “explosion of offers” whose validity ends within days.

Meta has also increased its investment in the cloud computing infrastructure, which would help MSS to conduct the huge training operations required to create a competing AI.

By 2026, researchers at Zhao and MSL must access the cloud computing group 1 Gigawatt 1 Gigawatt, Prometheus, located in Ohio. Once the Internet, Meta will be one of the first technology companies to have a set of artificial intelligence training of Prometheus – 1 Gigawat is enough energy to run more than 750,000 homes. This would help Meta perform the huge training operations required to create FRONTIERE AI models.

With the addition of Zhao, Meta is now two artificial intelligence scientists, including Yann Lecun, Meta’s Fair Lab leader. Unlike MSL, Fair is designed to focus on long-term artificial intelligence research-techniques that can be used from five to 10 years from now.

However, Meta now seems to have a tremendous artificial intelligence team to compete with Openai and Google.
