Mark Zuckerberg hired Alexandr Wang, a 29-year-old MIT dropout, to lead Meta Superintelligence Labs. The Muse app, launched on September 8, became the most popular free app on Apple’s App Store with 2.5 million downloads in about two weeks. Meta expects 2026 capital expenditures of $130 billion to $145 billion, nearly double the $72.2 billion spent last year. To bring Wang on board, Meta acquired a 49% stake in Scale AI for $14.3 billion and reportedly dangled $100 million compensation offers to OpenAI researchers. The core research team numbers fewer than 200 people, and Muse Wonder, the lab’s latest model, ranks according to Meta alongside top models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
