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.

Where is Artificial Intelligence Really Today?

 The development of artificial intelligence has produced spectacular and often impressive results in recent years. Systems like ChatGPT can generate natural-sounding language, solve problems, and in many tasks, even surpass human performance. However, a growing number of prominent researchers and technology leaders — including John Carmack and François Chollet — caution that these achievements don’t necessarily indicate that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is just around the corner. Behind the impressive performances, new types of challenges and limitations are emerging that go far beyond raw capability.

Rhino Linux Releases New Version: 2025.3

 In the world of Linux distributions, two main approaches dominate: on one side, stable systems that are updated infrequently but offer predictability and security; on the other, rolling-release distributions that provide the latest software at the cost of occasional instability. Rhino Linux aims to bridge this divide by combining the up-to-dateness of rolling releases with the stability offered by Ubuntu as its base.

SEAL: The Harbinger of Self-Taught Artificial Intelligence

 For years, the dominant belief was that human instruction—through data, labels, fine-tuning, and carefully designed interventions—was the key to advancing artificial intelligence. Today, however, a new paradigm is taking shape. In a recent breakthrough, researchers at MIT introduced SEAL (Self-Adapting Language Models), a system that allows language models to teach themselves. This is not only a technological milestone—it also raises a fundamental question: what role will humans play in the training of intelligent systems in the future?

All it takes is a photo and a voice recording – Alibaba's new artificial intelligence creates a full-body avatar from them

 A single voice recording and a photo are enough to create lifelike, full-body virtual characters with facial expressions and emotions – without a studio, actor, or green screen. Alibaba's latest development, an open-source artificial intelligence model called OmniAvatar, promises to do just that. Although the technology is still evolving, it is already worth paying attention to what it enables – and what new questions it raises.

ALT Linux 11.0 Education is the foundation of Russian educational institutions

 ALT Linux is a Russian-based Linux distribution built on the RPM package manager, based on the Sisyphus repository. It initially grew out of Russian localization efforts, collaborating with international distributions such as Mandrake and SUSE Linux, with a particular focus on supporting the Cyrillic alphabet.

Spatial intelligence is the next hurdle for AGI to overcome

With the advent of LLM, machines have gained impressive capabilities. What's more, their pace of development has accelerated, with new models appearing every day that make machines even more efficient and give them even better capabilities. However, upon closer inspection, this technology has only just enabled machines to think in one dimension. The world we live in, however, is three-dimensional based on human perception. It is not difficult for a human to determine that something is under or behind a chair, or where a ball flying towards us will land. According to many artificial intelligence researchers, in order for AGI, or artificial general intelligence, to be born, machines must be able to think in three dimensions, and for this, spatial intelligence must be developed.
