Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, is establishing a team of experts to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), machines capable of matching or surpassing human abilities, Bloomberg News reported on June 10, 2025.

This move signals Meta’s intensified focus on advancing AI technology.

Meta’s $10 Billion Investment in Scale AI Supports AGI Development

Alongside forming the new team, Meta is reportedly investing over $10 billion in Scale AI.

Bloomberg sources say Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang is expected to join Meta’s AGI group after the deal closes.

This investment aligns with Meta’s ambitions in the AI field.

Zuckerberg to Recruit Top Talent for AGI Team

Zuckerberg aims to personally recruit approximately 50 people, including a new head of AI research to lead the AGI team.

This initiative is partly driven by dissatisfaction with the performance and reception of Meta’s latest large language model, Llama 4, according to Bloomberg.

Delays and Concerns Surrounding Meta’s Latest AI Models

Last month, Meta postponed the release of its "Behemoth" AI model, reportedly due to concerns over its capabilities, as covered by the Wall Street Journal.

This delay illustrates ongoing challenges within Meta’s AI projects.

Rivals such as OpenAI are also making changes to attract investment in the race to develop AGI, reflecting a competitive environment in advanced AI development.
