How frustrated is Mark Zuckerberg with Meta’s AI game?
Frustrated enough to throw billions at it—specifically, at Scale AI and its ambitious CEO Alexandr Wang.
Sources say Meta is closing in on a jaw-dropping $14 billion investment in Scale AI.
Why? Zuckerberg wants Wang on his team to breathe life into Meta’s sluggish AI efforts.
Especially after the underwhelming rollout of its latest Llama models.
But here’s the clever part—Meta’s not buying Scale outright.
Instead, it’s playing the same game as Google and Microsoft: take a big stake, avoid antitrust headaches.
Reports say Meta will scoop up 49% of Scale.
Wang gears up to lead a new AI lab inside Meta, bringing some of his team along for the ride.
Why Zuckerberg Wants Wang?
He’s not just a tech whiz—he knows how to build real businesses around AI, according to former Meta AI insiders.
And Meta’s already one of Scale’s biggest clients.
Scale AI isn’t just tech—it’s now defense, too.
It’s been working with the Pentagon and even partnered with Meta last year on “Defense Llama,” designed for national security missions.
So, is this the move that finally makes Meta matter in AI? Zuckerberg’s betting billions that it is.
