"The shift highlights the stakes of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's massive bet on AI. Over the past year, Meta has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into luring top researchers with nine-figure pay packages and reorganized its AI work under the new Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). Now, its new leaders are revamping the internal engineering tools that those teams use - a shift that underscores the urgency with which Meta is moving as it races to catch up with rivals like OpenAI and Google."
"Internal documents show that MSL's Product and Applied Research (PAR) group, led by former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, is pushing staff away from Meta's slower, home-grown infrastructure toward mainstream developer platforms like Vercel. One memo from late September notes that Meta's existing systems, designed for billions of users and giant engineering teams, take "too long" to deploy changes and are "not conducive to vibe coding," making it harder for small, fast-moving AI teams to experiment."
Meta formed Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) and invested heavily in AI talent and reorganization to accelerate competitive progress. MSL is adopting external developer platforms such as Vercel and GitHub to enable faster prototyping and experimentation. Meta's existing internal systems, optimized for billions of users and massive engineering teams, impose slow deployment cycles and hinder vibe coding workflows. MSL's Product and Applied Research group, led by Nat Friedman, is steering teams toward mainstream tools while building an internal platform called Nest to integrate Meta data for rapid experimentation. The tooling shift aims to give small, fast-moving AI teams quicker feedback loops and prototyping speed.
