IG 總監不再兼管 Threads ？據報 Meta 任命高管 Connor Hayes 為 Threads 負責人
兩年前推出的 Threads 或許已成為大家每日手機中必開的 Apps 了嗎？（至少小編是的），現在這個以「文字為主」的社交媒體平台迎來人事變動，據報 Meta 生成式 AI 產品副總裁 Connor Hayes 將接手管理 Threads。 Axios 報導 Meta 已任命 Meta 高層主管 Connor Hayes為 Threads 的負責人，這對僅推出兩年的 Threads 屬一個重要的里程碑。一直以來 Threads 都是由 Instagram 負責人 Adam Mosseri 所主導，而想開 Threads 帳戶的話是需擁有 Instagram 帳戶才可。突顯出兩者的連帶關係。不過自 Threads 社群快速壯大後，現時每月活躍用戶數已超過 3.5 億人的情況下，慢慢趨向獨立，有自己的成長方向是正常不過。Adam Mosseri表示，Connor Hayes 上任後仍會向他報告，畢竟 Threads 仍然屬於 Instagram 團隊的一部份，但考慮到 Threads 的發展已成熟，他們認為現時需要一位專注於推動 Threads 向前發展的獨立領導者。換人領頭的 Threads 會走向怎樣的變化的確令人期待，或許會更快帶來不同的功能，而演算法部份也勢必會有一定程度的改變。 更多內容： Axios Threads 正式引入廣告，最後一片社交淨土消失了？ 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：

Meta appoints generative AI VP to run Threads
In Brief Meta appointed Connor Hayes, Meta's VP of product for generative AI, to become the head of Threads, per Axios. Until now, Instagram head Adam Mosseri has been in charge of Threads. But the platform has grown into more than a side product of Instagram, necessitating additional leadership. Though Threads only launched in 2023, its mobile daily active user (DAU) numbers are fast approaching those of X, according to market intelligence provider Similarweb. Currently, Threads is averaging around 115 million DAUs on mobile, with X's DAU numbers reaching around 132 million. TechCrunch has reached out to Meta for comment. Image Credits:Similarweb

Exclusive: Meta shuffles AI team to compete with OpenAI and Google
Meta is restructuring its AI teams to speed up the rollout of new products and features, Axios has learned. Why it matters: Meta faces stiff competition in the AI race, including from OpenAI and Google as well as Chinese rivals such as TikTok parent ByteDance. Driving the news: In an internal memo sent Tuesday and seen by Axios, chief product officer Chris Cox laid out the new structure, which will see efforts divided into two teams: an AI products team, headed by Connor Hayes, and an AGI Foundations unit, co-led by Ahmad Al-Dahle and Amir Frenkel. The AI products team will be responsible for the Meta AI assistant, Meta's AI Studio and AI features within Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The AGI Foundations unit will cover a range of technologies, including the company's Llama models, as well as efforts to improve capabilities in reasoning, multimedia and voice. The company's AI research unit, known as FAIR (Fundamental AI Research), remains separate from the new organizational structure, though one specific team working on multimedia is moving to the new AGI Foundations team. Between the lines: No executives are leaving as part of the changes, nor are any jobs being cut, though the company has moved in some leaders from other parts of the company. Meta hopes that splitting a single large organization into smaller teams will speed product development and give the company more flexibility as it adds additional technical leaders. The company is also seeing key talent depart, including to French rival Mistral, as reported by Business Insider. What they're saying: "Our new structure aims to give each org more ownership while minimizing (but making explicit) team dependencies," Cox said in the memo.
