Meta's secret team to create AG

2025 June 12. 07:32   

Bloomberg reports that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is assembling a team of experts to create what he calls “Artificial General Intelligence” (AGI).

Bloomberg, citing a well-informed source, reports that Zuckerberg is disappointed with the results of Meta's AI developments and wants to create a new team of experts, internally called a “superintelligence team”. At the same time, he is in talks with startup Scale AI, which wants to invest billions of dollars in the project. If the investment is successful, Scale AI co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will join Meta's superintelligence team.

Zuckerberg plans to personally recruit around 50 people, including the team's new AI research leader. One reason is that he was disappointed with the quality of Meta's latest Llama 4 model and the response to the product, so he has taken the team into his own hands.

However, Meta and Scale AI spokespeople declined to comment on the news.

The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Meta feared the model's performance would not meet expectations, so it postponed the launch of its flagship model, code-named “Behemoth”, which was previously thought to be competitive with products from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.

At the same time, Meta's competitors are constantly striving to improve in order to attract more investors and accelerate the development of AGI.

Linux Kernel 6.16 Released

 Linux Kernel 6.16 has been released. While the release process was, in the developers’ words, “uneventful” in the best possible sense, significant improvements lie beneath the surface, bringing progress in areas such as security, performance, and system management. Meanwhile, development of the upcoming 6.17 version has started in a more chaotic manner than usual—highlighting the human side of one of the world’s most important open-source projects.
What is WhoFi?

What is WhoFi?

 Wireless internet, or WiFi, is now a ubiquitous and indispensable part of our lives. We use it to connect our devices to the internet, communicate, and exchange information. But imagine if this same technology, which invisibly weaves through our homes and cities, could also identify and track us without cameras—even through walls. This is not a distant science fiction scenario, but the reality of a newly developed technology called WhoFi, which harnesses a previously untapped property of WiFi signals. To complicate matters, the term “WhoFi” also refers to an entirely different service with community-focused goals, so it's important to clarify which meaning is being discussed.

China’s Own GPU Industry Is Slowly Awakening

 “7G” is an abbreviation that sounds almost identical to the word for “miracle” in Chinese. Whether this is a lucky piece of marketing or a true technological prophecy remains to be seen. What Lisuan Technology is presenting with the 7G106—internally codenamed G100—is nothing less than the first serious attempt to step out of Nvidia and AMD’s shadow. No licensing agreements, no crutches based on Western intellectual property—this is a GPU built from scratch, manufactured using 6 nm DUV technology in a country that is only beginning to break free from the spell of Western technology exports.

Anticipation is high for the release of GPT-5 — but what should we really expect?

 OpenAI’s upcoming language model, GPT-5, has become one of the most anticipated technological developments in recent months. Following the release of GPT-4o and the specialized o1 models, attention is now shifting to this next-generation model, which—according to rumors and hints from company leaders—may represent a significant leap forward in artificial intelligence capabilities. But what do we actually know so far, and what remains pure speculation?
Double Game Around Chips

Double Game Around Chips

 One of the most crucial areas of global development in artificial intelligence is the manufacturing and export of high-tech chips. In recent years, the intensifying competition between the United States and China has become increasingly significant, not only from a technological standpoint but also geopolitically. Recently, the U.S. government partially eased its previous restrictions on the export of NVIDIA’s H20 AI chips to China. While at first glance this may appear to be a loosening of the technological blockade, the reality is considerably more nuanced.

What Does the Rise of DiffuCoder and Diffusion Language Models Mean?

 A new approach is now fundamentally challenging this linear paradigm: diffusion language models (dLLMs), which generate content not sequentially but globally, through iterative refinement. But are they truly better suited to code generation than the well-established AR models? And what insights can we gain from DiffuCoder, the first major open-source experiment in this field?
