Meta Absorbs Vibe Coding Startup Gizmo's Engineering Team
Meta scooped up the engineers behind AI-powered app builder Gizmo to bolster its Superintelligence Labs.
Meta just pulled off an acqui-hire, snagging the entire engineering team from Atma Sciences — the company behind Gizmo, a vibe coding app that lets users build mini apps and games using AI.
The team is joining Meta's Superintelligence Labs, the division focused on pushing the boundaries of advanced AI systems.
Gizmo carved out a niche in the growing vibe coding space, where users describe what they want in plain language and AI handles the actual code generation. The app enabled people to create and share interactive content without traditional programming skills.
The move signals Meta is serious about stacking its superintelligence efforts with talent that already knows how to ship AI-native products. Rather than just poaching researchers, they're grabbing builders who've turned AI coding into a consumer experience.
