   “Today we’re celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Meta’s Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team.”

Meta's official 10-year anniversary post says FAIR launched in late 2013 (E1). A separate Meta newsroom announcement dated 30 November 2023 marks the team's 10-year anniversary (E3). Late 2013 is about 10.3 to 10.5 years before April 2024, which falls inside the criteria's "true" range of 9 to 11.5 years. The criteria name Facebook/Meta announcements as the reference, and these are such announcements.
