About Meta AI
Meta AI is Meta's artificial intelligence research division. Champions open-source AI with the Llama model family and conducts fundamental research in NLP, computer vision, and robotics.
Company History
FAIR founded 2013. Llama open-source series set global standard. Llama 4 Scout/Maverick (Apr 2025) with MoE and 10M context. Llama 5 launched early Apr 2026 (600B+ params, multimodal, recursive self-improvement). Muse Spark (Apr 2026) - Meta's first closed-weight frontier model via Meta Superintelligence Labs, signaling strategic shift. Meta AI assistant reached 600M MAU. Meta spending $115-135B on AI infrastructure in 2026.
