On April 14th (local time), Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, is taking a more hands-on approach in the ongoing AI competition. He has moved his workstation into the AI team's area, where he now works side by side with Wang Tao and Nat Friedman in the AI lab, actively participating in coding tasks. Previously, Zuckerberg had already reorganized his office setup to dedicate several hours each week to working on AI-related projects. Meta has made substantial investments, amounting to billions of dollars, to establish the 'Superintelligence Lab.' This initiative has successfully drawn top talent, including Wang Tao, with Nat Friedman also set to join the team in July to bolster development efforts. Historically, Meta lagged somewhat in the generative AI sector. However, the 'Superintelligence Lab' has now unveiled its inaugural model, Muse Spark, marking a significant turning point. Meta's strategic investments are beginning to bear fruit, as evidenced by an 8% surge in its stock price. Zuckerberg has hailed this achievement as the 'first milestone' in their AI journey.
