Meta plans to divide its artificial intelligence division into four groups amid restructuring. Meta (NASDAQ:META) is expected to announce on Tuesday a restructuring of its artificial intelligence division, as Meta's superintelligence labs will be split into four separate groups, according to The New York Times.

The reorganization will create specialized teams focused on AI research, superintelligence development, products, and infrastructure including data centers and hardware. Sources familiar with the plans indicate that these changes aim to accelerate the development of AI products to compete better in the market.

The restructuring comes after months of changes in Meta's AI strategy led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Some executives in the AI field are expected to leave as part of the reorganization, and the company is also considering downsizing the division, which has grown to include thousands of employees in recent years. This may involve layoffs or transferring employees to other departments, although no final decisions have been made yet.

In a potential strategic shift, Meta is also exploring the use of third-party AI models to run its products, instead of relying solely on its own technology. This may include the use of open-source models or licensing closed models.
