Y Combinator Startup Podcast · Alexandr Wang: “This is a Once-in-a-Civilization Opportunity” · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

How do we help people accomplish things that they couldn't have ever dreamed of before?

And what would everyone in the world do if everything was just easy?

And we think about this in an ecosystem way as well.

I think Patrick mentioned it, but

We don't believe in this totalizing, totalitarian view of AIs that control the world.

We believe that these are going to enhance this very broad ecosystem.

So we believe in billions of people all around the world, all having their own personal super intelligence,

And we also believe in an explosion of entrepreneurship.

There's 200 million businesses that are on Meta's platforms today.

We think that number should go to billions with this explosion of creativity and using AI tools.

And ultimately, we think that it's going to be this dynamic ecosystem of business agents working with personal agents and developing this sort of complex ecosystem that is fully AI supercharged.

Yeah, yeah.

So I think it was, it's been, you know, I've been at Meta for about a year now, and it's been quite a year.

I think, you know, getting in and, you know, Meta, we've talked about it publicly, like Lama 4 wasn't on the trajectory that was needed for

for Meta, and so I got in there and we kind of did a zero-based build of how do you build an entire Frontier Lab, in some ways kind of from scratch, obviously using a lot of what we had, and move as quickly as possible.

And so within nine months of that moment, we launched MuseSpark One, and then two months later we launched

Muse Image and Muse Spark 1.1.

And there's a few things that I think have really struck me about this.

The first is talent density was incredibly important.

That was the core thing to bet on.
