What is Meta?
Meta develops Meta AI, the Llama model family and AI experiences connected to its social and messaging products. Its consumer strategy puts assistance inside familiar apps and connected glasses, rather than asking everyone to adopt a separate work platform. The standalone Meta AI app also brings together voice interaction, image creation and personalized assistance.
