Meta Platforms has announced a major restructuring of its artificial intelligence division, Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), as the company seeks to accelerate progress in the race toward advanced AI.

Under the new structure, MSL will be divided into four specialized units — Product, Research, Infra, and Ops — to bring greater clarity and focus to operations. The earlier AGI Foundations Group has been dissolved, with its leaders reassigned to strategic roles within the division.

The shake-up comes under the leadership of Alexandr Wang, Meta’s recently appointed Chief AI Officer and former CEO of Scale AI. According to Wang, the reorganization will better align research, infrastructure, and product development, enabling the company to advance more quickly toward its goal of superintelligence.

As part of the leadership changes, Aparna Ramani will now head MSL Infra, while Robert Fergus will continue to lead Meta’s FAIR research lab, which he co-founded in 2014. Meanwhile, Loredana Crisan has departed the company to join design platform Figma.

While the restructuring does not include layoffs, industry analysts believe Meta may eventually downsize its AI workforce, which has grown to several thousand employees. In another significant shift, the company has signaled openness to adopting third-party AI models, moving away from its tradition of relying exclusively on in-house systems.

The reorganization underscores Meta’s urgency to strengthen its AI capabilities as competition with Google and OpenAI intensifies in the global race for next-generation artificial intelligence.
