Meta Splits AI Team
Meta is reportedly dividing its AI department into two new teams, according to a report from Axios. The company’s AI personnel will now be assigned to either an AI products team or an AGI Foundations unit.
AI Products Team
The AI products team will concentrate on consumer-facing projects. These include AI features within Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, along with Meta’s new stand-alone AI app.
AGI Foundations Unit
The AGI Foundations unit will have a broader focus, working to improve Llama models.
Staying Competitive
As companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic advance, Meta is working to remain competitive. Meta recently introduced a Llama for Startups program to encourage early-stage companies to use their products for generative AI applications. Meta’s LlamaConevent in April highlighted its ability to compete with OpenAI.
