Meta Plans to Launch Generative AI Models in 2026


Meta told engineers performance reviews will no longer factor in AI token usage, per The Information. Executives Maher Saba and Santosh Janardhan issued guidance saying AI adoption dashboards or token usage won't measure employee impact, and removed earlier requirements for specific AI tools/tasks.....
A memo from Meta executives clearly states that AI adoption dashboards or token usage will not be used to evaluate engineers' influence. Currently, 93% of code changes are assisted by AI agents, and AI is deeply embedded in engineering processes, but the emphasis is that using AI itself is not the ultimate goal. This move responds to the common practice in the tech industry of setting performance metrics to promote AI.
Meta launched Muse Spark1.3, its most powerful AI model for agent workflows and coding. It surpasses GPT-5.6Sol in programming and matches Claude Fable5.1. Pricing stays the same at $1.25 per million input tokens via Meta Model API.....
OpenAI CEO Altman stated clearly during an interview that he doesn't like smart glasses, saying it's uncomfortable to talk to someone wearing cameras and lighting devices, implying that OpenAI will not enter this field for now, so Zuckerberg doesn't need to worry about competition. His attitude had already been evident earlier, while Meta's smart glasses business is growing rapidly.
The EU has designated ChatGPT, Reddit, and Roblox as 'very large online platforms' due to their monthly active users exceeding 45 million in the EU, requiring them to fully comply with the Digital Services Act. This move marks the expansion of EU digital regulation into the generative AI field, with platforms facing stricter scrutiny.
