The battle between Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and OpenAI’s Sam Altman for the industry’s top AI talent shows no signs of cooling off. This time, Zuckerberg appears to have secured two more researchers from OpenAI.

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta is building out some massive data centers to power its AI ambitions and compete with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.

Mark Zuckerberg said on Monday that Meta Platforms would spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build several massive AI data centers for superintelligence, intensifying his pursuit of a technology he has chased with a talent war for top engineers.

Meta has reportedly poached two top OpenAI researchers, Jason Wei and Hyung Won Chung, for its new superintelligence lab, escalating the fierce AI talent war between leading tech giants.

When I sat down with Meta CEO and founder Mark Zuckerbergto talk artificial intelligence, I expected that he would want to discuss the company’s new supercomputer plans and talk about why he’s been working the phones all summer in a red-hot AI recruiting blitz.

Prometheus will come online in 2026 acting as Meta's first-ever 1GW lab, with Hyperion launching in the years after, scaling AI compute power to 5GW, and these are Meta's mainstream AI projects. Meta will add multiple new AI clusters over the years, showing that the company is pushing heavily into AI, and plans to overtake the industry.
