Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, announced on Friday that Shengjia Zhao, a key researcher Openai and authors of ChatGPT, GPT-4 models, and the O1 reasoning system, as the new scieific director of the “Meta Laboratory Laborators”.
Zhao has previously coributed to the developme of some of the most advanced artificial ielligence technologies, and is now set to lead the Meta research path to compete with Openai, Ahropic and Google Dep Madam. He has been involved in its formation since its establishme and has now been officially appoied as the scieific brain of the project.
Former Scale AI CEO Alexander Wang also heads the unit; However, he has no research background, the presence of Xao and other scieific elites has established the team’s balance.


In rece mohs, several high -level researchers from Openai, Dipmand, Apple, Ahropic and even the FAIR team have been transferred to the unit. According to American sources, Zuckerberg has sometimes been offered several tens of million dollars to attract these elites with a limited number of days and even invited some personally to his villa in Lake Taho.
One of the key goals of MSL is the developme of O1 competing argumes and the implemeation of the “new scalability paradigm” that Xao has offered. Meta is also launching a 4GB computational superconductor in Ohio, which is ready for operation by year 4.
Currely, two key figures are guiding meta artificial ielligence:
Ian Lecon, Director of Long -Term Research in Fair Laboratory
Shengjia Zhao, Scieific Director of Abravash Research in MSL
The combination of this advanced team reflects the serious meta’s determination to compete with other artificial ielligence gias.
