Meta AI (FAIR)
Open-weight leader; maker of Llama and Superintelligence Labs
Meta's AI org (FAIR plus the 2025 Meta Superintelligence Labs) drove the open-weight movement with the Llama family, though Llama 4's mixed reception in 2025 prompted a strategy reset, a ~$14B investment into Scale AI, and aggressive talent hiring. It runs one of the largest private GPU fleets (hundreds of thousands of Nvidia H100/H200/Blackwell GPUs) across its own datacenters (Prometheus/Hyperion buildouts). Meta funds AI from its ad business rather than external cloud spend.
