Mark Zuckerberg is on war footing to build the first of the AGIs with his Meta Superintelligence Team, even as he lagged with the now redundant Metaverse mission before embracing AI.
Mark’s tech behemoth Meta’s (formerly Facebook) subsidiary MetaAI unveiled Llama (Large Language Model Meta AI) in February 2023 with the latest version, Llama 4, released in April 2025. Founded in 2013 as Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR), headed by lead scientist Yann LeCun, it released the open-source machine learning library PyTorch that was used in Tesla’s autopilot.
Besides Llama, the company also released Galactica, which was online for only three days.
The company poached several OpenAI employees recently for its Meta Superintelligence Team. Amid thousands of layoffs, the company has reportedly spent millions to assemble a super AI team with top guns from Apple, OpenAI, and other rivals. In a bid to hire more talents with an aptitude for AI, Meta is now gonna let candidates use coding assistants.
Per 404media, an internal memo by Meta stated
Meta is developing a new type of coding interview in which candidates have access to an AI assistant. This is more representative of the developer environment that our future employees will work in.”
Per reports, the company will initially run a test with in-house employees.

Reactions poured in with netizens divided over Meta’s plan to allow candidates to use AI assistants. One user quipped, “The catch, you have to use their AI.” Another user jibed, “strap in boys, it’s time to vibe code your server infra.” A third user took a cheeky dig, “now let’s try to vibe code the backend server for instagram.”
Yet another user commented, “Silly. You’re going to get more false positives. Interviews should be a judgment of how one thinks, not what tool they use.” Another user asked, “Why hire anyone at all?” Not all users were skeptical of Meta’s new approach for coding interviews. One user remarked, “Honestly, letting the candidate debug the AI generated code is probably a much more useful and arguably more difficult task than writing code from scratch.”
The catch, you have to use their ai. Debug the ai slop of Llama 7
