Meta is building data centers in tents to rapidly scale AI infrastructure and try to catch rivals such as DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Meta will begin removing monetization privileges and stop recommending content from accounts that repeatedly post unoriginal content, many times aided by AI.

OpenAI researcher Jason Wei will reportedly join Meta’s new Superintelligence Lab. Another team member, Hyung Won Chung, might also join Meta, as the company works to catch up to rivals in the AGI race.

The researchers argue that CoT monitoring can help researchers detect when models begin to exploit flaws in their training, manipulate data, or fall victim to malicious user manipulation. Any issues that are found can then either be “blocked, or replaced with safer actions, or reviewed in more depth.”

Scale AI, a private U.S. artificial intelligence company, laid off 14% of staff after tech giant Meta took a $14.3 billion stake and hired its CEO last month.

Top members of Meta’s new Superintelligence Lab discussed pivoting away from the company’s powerful open source AI model, Behemoth, and instead developing a closed model. This would mark a major philosophical shift for Meta.
