Meta’s AI Lab Shifts to Vercel and GitHub for Speed, Plans ‘Nest’ Platform

The move targets deployment times that memos say stretched for hours at Meta’s legacy stack.

Overview

  • Internal memos show MSL’s Product and Applied Research group has moved roughly 10 projects to a GitHubVercel stack, enabling updates in minutes.
  • Infrastructure chief Aparna Ramani wrote that Meta’s home‑grown systems “take too long” to deploy and are “not conducive to vibe coding.”
  • Leaders outlined a dual‑track plan that uses Vercel immediately for rapid prototyping while an internal platform called Nest is developed.
  • Nest is designed to host TypeScript apps on Meta’s systems, with a prototype expected within weeks and an eventual role as the default option.
  • Meta declined to comment, Vercel and GitHub did not respond, and both Nat Friedman and AI chief Alexandr Wang are investors in Vercel.
