Meta plans to increase spending to $65 billion on AI infrastructure

Mark Zuckerberg plans to make Meta the leader in the artificial intelligence market. As part of this strategy, the company will hold its first AI developer conference under the Llama brand, where it will present key innovations in the field of AI.

The LlamaCon conference, which will take place at Meta's headquarters in Menlo Park, will be an important milestone for the company. Meta is already using AI to accelerate revenue growth, but the exact results are still difficult to assess. One of the recent achievements was the presentation of Llama 4 models, which could serve as the foundation for AI agents that perform tasks through browsers and other online interfaces.

Another important component of Zuckerberg's AI strategy is Meta AI, a digital assistant that aims to compete with ChatGPT.

In January, Zuckerberg stated that 2025 would be the year when personalized AI friends reach over one billion users, with Meta AI taking a leading position in the market. In the second quarter, the company plans to launch a standalone Meta AI app and test a paid subscription for more advanced versions of the assistant.

Despite the significant advantages provided by the multi-billion-user audience of Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta apps, not all users will be ready to interact with an AI assistant in their familiar environment.
