Meta Platforms hired the founders and staff of AI agent startup Dreamer.

The talent-focused acqui-hire excludes Dreamer's underlying technology.

The team will join the Meta Superintelligence Labs group to develop advanced AI systems.

Co-founder Hugo Barra returns to Meta following leadership roles at Google Android, Xiaomi, and Oculus VR.

This move supports Meta's aggressive recruitment of researchers to accelerate superintelligent AI development.
