Welcome, AI Builders!
Today, Meta swiped an OpenAI mastermind for its superintelligence team, rivals Nvidia and AMD unified behind Trumpās AI vision, NASAās satellites started thinking for themselves, and Elonās bringing back Vine with generative AI. If you blink, you'll miss it.
š In todayās Generative AI Newsletter:
Meta poaches Shengjia Zhao from OpenAI
Nvidia and AMD back Trumpās accelerated AI infrastructure plan
NASAās AI satellites can now think, see, and decide without human help
Elon Musk brings back Vine with a generative AI twist

Meta has officially named Shengjia Zhao, a foundational contributor to GPT-4 and ChatGPT, as the new Chief Scientist of Meta Superintelligence Labs. Zhao helped build OpenAIās o1 reasoning model and is now charged with shaping Metaās next-generation AI stack funded by billions, powered by Prometheus, and staffed by top-tier researchers from across the industry.
Hereās whatās in the lab:
Zhao co-founded the lab and has now been formally named Chief Scientist under Alexandr Wangās leadership
Previously at OpenAI, Zhao co-authored work on ChatGPT, GPT-4, o1, and mini models
MSLās team includes hires from OpenAI, DeepMind, Apple, Anthropic, and Metaās own FAIR group
Metaās Prometheus compute cluster, a 1-gigawatt infrastructure in Ohio, will power model training from 2026
Zuckerberg now has two AI chiefs: Zhao at MSL and LeCun at FAIR. The plan is clear. One lab will build whatās next. The other will build whatās beyond. Metaās bid for AI superintelligence is no longer speculative, itās staffed, funded, and about to launch.
š¤ Rare Unity: Nvidia, AMD Back Trump's AI Turbo Boost Plan

In a rare moment of unity, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and AMD CEO Lisa Su publicly endorsed President Trumpās new AI āaction planā during a high-profile tech summit in Washington. The initiative aims to clear regulatory hurdles, accelerate data center construction, and ramp up energy availability, all while giving the domestic chip industry a turboboost.
Hereās what just hit the circuit:
Huang praised Trump directly, calling him Americaās āunique advantageā and crediting him for recognizing AI and energy as national priorities
Su called the plan āexcellentā, saying it lays out the framework for the U.S. to win the global AI race and fast-track tech adoption
The action plan includes deregulation, export support, and energy infrastructure backing to bolster GPU-heavy AI facilities
Trump acknowledged Huang and Su on stage, applauding their leadership as essential to American AI dominance
When the two fiercest rivals in AI hardware stand shoulder to shoulder in support of policy, itās more than industry chatter. Washington is now as critical to chip making as silicon itself.
š°ļø NASAās AI Satellites Are Learning to Think Like Humans

NASA is quietly turning Earth-observing satellites into autonomous scientists. In its latest field test, the agencyās Jet Propulsion Lab demonstrated Dynamic Targeting, a real-time AI system that lets satellites think for themselves. In under 90 seconds, the test satellite processed data, identified clouds, made an imaging decision, and shifted focus, all without human input.
Hereās whatās rolling out:
Dynamic Targeting uses onboard AI to scan 300 miles (482.8 km) ahead, dodge cloud cover, and shoot only usable imagery
The system was tested on CogniSAT-6, a CubeSat equipped with an AI chip that mimics human judgment in space
Early missions are focused on cloud avoidance, but upcoming ones will target rare events like wildfires, volcanic plumes, and extreme storms
Future plans include satellite constellations communicating autonomously, detecting phenomena in one orbit and triggering action in the next
Steve Chien, the AI lead at JPL, put it bluntly: āWe want spacecraft to act like people. See fire, know itās fire, and focus on it.ā The tech could someday power deep-space explorers or Earth-based radar platforms tracking once-in-a-decade ice storms. NASAās satellites arenāt just capturing Earth anymore. Theyāre beginning to understand it.
š¹ Musk Resurrects Vine as an AI-Powered Content Playground

Elon Musk just dropped news that Vine is returning, this time powered by generative AI. In a cryptic X post, Musk revealed plans to revive the iconic short-form video app nearly a decade after its shutdown. The original six-second format now aligns perfectly with AIās bite-sized creative strengths, hinting at a platform primed for viral content remixing.
Hereās whatās rolling in:
Musk confirmed Vineās AI-driven reboot, fulfilling hints dropped since his Twitter takeover.
Generative AI integration could empower instant remixes and entirely AI-crafted videos.
VINE token spiked 115%, market cap hit $155M, triggered by investor excitement.
Potential TikTok rival: Vineās format uniquely suited to AIās short-video sweet spot.
Vine originally invented short-form virality with just six seconds. It was built for fast laughs, clever cuts, and looping chaos. With AI in the driverās seat, it could now become a launchpad for the next generation of digital creators and the algorithms that shape them.
