Mark Zuckerberg reported the creation of a new division of Meta, Superintelligence Labs, which aims to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology that can lead Meta to the forefront of innovation.

The new unit will combine Meta’s old Llama AI research group with a new one focused on developing the next generation of models.
