Meta Superintelligence Team

In mid-2025, Hu joined Meta as a Director of Product Management within its newly formed "Superintelligence" team. This group was assembled as part of a strategic initiative by Meta to advance its capabilities in generative AI and compete with other industry leaders like OpenAI and Google's DeepMind. The team is composed of prominent researchers, engineers, and product leaders, many of whom were recruited from competing AI labs.

The Superintelligence team's mandate covers a wide range of AI domains, including Large Language Models (LLMs), computer vision, multimodal systems, reinforcement learning, and model alignment. Hu's role as Director of Product focuses on AI product management, bridging the gap between the team's foundational research and its application in Meta's products and services. She joined a leadership group that includes AI pioneer Yann LeCun, former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, and former DeepMind VP of Product Mat Velloso. Her hiring was part of a rapid expansion of the team, with over half of its initial members joining in a single month. ^[2]
