Meta invests $35B in infrastructure, pivots AI focus to 'Muse' agents

Meta's recent earnings call revealed a significant shift in focus, with the company investing heavily in infrastructure and introducing its new AI agent, Muse. Despite a substantial capital expenditure of nearly $35 billion in one quarter, the term "Llama" was notably absent, replaced by discussions around the Muse family of models, including frontier model Muse Wonder and open-weight variants like Muse Glimmer and Muse Spark Open. Meta's strategy centers on owning the entire technology stack, from models to agents and devices, with Muse being positioned as the next primary interface for its vast user base across platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram.
