Meta has made a major strategic move by investing heavily in the artificial intelligence startup Scale AI, valuing the company at more than $29 billion. As part of the deal, Scale AI’s CEO, Alexandr Wang, will step into a new role at Meta to advance its AI initiatives, while continuing to serve on Scale’s board of directors.

The development comes amid growing concerns from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg over the pace of the company’s AI advancements. Reports suggest internal dissatisfaction with the progress of Meta’s large language models, particularly the delayed launch of Llama 4, which is under review due to minimal improvements over its predecessor.

To overcome these challenges, Zuckerberg is forming a specialized “superintelligence group” at Meta’s Menlo Park headquarters, aiming to boost AI innovation at a faster pace. Wang’s appointment is expected to bring fresh momentum to Meta’s AI roadmap.

Despite the internal shifts, Meta’s stock remains relatively stable, showing an 18% gain for the year 2025 so far.
