Meta expects to spend between $115 billion and $135 billion on AI-related capital this year, almost twice as much as last year。
THE COMPANY CFO STATED THAT, DESPITE THE SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION OF THE CALCULUS OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE INTERNAL DEMAND FOR COMPUTING RESOURCES WAS GROWING FASTER THAN THE SUPPLY, AND THAT THE OPTIMIZATION OF ADVERTISING OPERATIONS AND CUTTING-EDGE MODELLING REQUIRED LARGER DATA CENTRES AND GPU CLUSTERS。

At the product level, Zuckerberg stated that Meta’s goal was to build “personal super-intelligence” for billions of users and to emphasize the importance of self-study basic models to avoid being subjected to external ecology。

At the same time, Meta is deeply integrating AI into its core product system. According to The Verge, Zuckerberg believes that AI will be the "new generation of media" after words, photos, videos。
The company has created the short video stream "Vibes" in AI, which can be scrolled online in Meta AI applications, and tested interactive content formats that allow users to create virtual worlds or games through hints。
He said that future users might "go on any video and get more immersed in."。
In terms of internal operations, Reality Labs recorded more than $6 billion in operating losses in the last quarter of last year, and at least hundreds of employees were abolished earlier this year and some VR studios were closed.
