Meta plans fourth restructuring of AI efforts in six months, The Information reports
Aug 15, 2025 3:56 PM

Aug 15 (Reuters) - Meta is planning its fourth

overhaul of artificial intelligence efforts in six months, The

Information reported on Friday, citing three people familiar

with the matter.

The company is expected to divide its new AI unit,

Superintelligence Labs, into four groups: a new "TBD Lab," short

for to be determined; a products team including the Meta AI

assistant; an infrastructure team; and the Fundamental AI

Research (FAIR) lab focused on long-term research, the report

said, citing two people.

Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Reuters could not independently verify the report.

As Silicon Valley's AI contest intensifies, CEO Mark

Zuckerberg is going all-in to fast-track work on artificial

general intelligence - machines that can outthink humans - and

help create new cash flows.

Meta recently reorganized the company's AI efforts under

Superintelligence Labs, a high-stakes push that followed senior

staff departures and a poor reception for Meta's latest

open-source Llama 4 model.

The social media giant has tapped U.S. bond giant PIMCO and

alternative asset manager Blue Owl Capital to spearhead

a $29 billion financing for its data center expansion in rural

Louisiana, Reuters reported earlier this month.

In July, Zuckerberg said Meta would spend hundreds of

billions of dollars to build several massive AI data centers.

The company raised the bottom end of its annual capital

expenditures forecast by $2 billion, to a range of $66 billion

to $72 billion last month.

Rising costs to build out data center infrastructure and

employee compensation costs - as Meta has been poaching

researchers with mega salaries - would push the 2026 expense

growth rate above the pace in 2025, the company has said.
