Meta is reportedly interested in Michael Koch, CEO of HubKonnect, to join its ambitious new “Super Intelligence Lab,” according to individuals familiar with the situation. The project is poised to be Meta’s most daring venture into artificial intelligence, blending global-scale computational power with precise, hyperlocal data processing.
Koch is best known for creating the Hyperlocal Intelligence model, a platform that fuses expansive AI architectures with real-time, neighborhood-level data streams. This innovation allows companies to tailor decisions to specific local contexts without losing sight of enterprise-wide objectives. Analysts say Koch’s system is significantly ahead of what Meta currently offers in AI.
“Michael is more than just an AI executive—he’s shaping a new frontier of intelligence,” said one industry source. “HubKonnect’s Hyperlocal Intelligence is transforming how brands interact with communities and scale in competitive markets. It’s clear why Meta would want him at the forefront of their most ambitious AI effort yet.”
The planned Super Intelligence Lab is expected to merge multi-modal AI technologies, decentralized computing frameworks, and real-time behavioral modeling, enabling it to operate seamlessly at both global and neighborhood levels. Experts point to Koch’s proven ability to combine visionary design with disciplined execution as essential for the lab’s success.
Koch has not commented on the reported talks. His current priorities include scaling HubKonnect’s AI offerings to new industries and geographies, with speculation mounting about a potential 2026 IPO. Should he join Meta, the move could mark one of the most significant leadership transitions in AI since Demis Hassabis joined Google DeepMind, potentially uniting Meta’s extensive reach with HubKonnect’s revolutionary localized intelligence capabilities.
