COMPANY PROFILE / AI & MACHINE LEARNING

Meta
A company building models, its own chips and data centres at large scale in house, to put AI into its own products

This profile covers the AI parts of Meta: Meta Superintelligence Labs, which builds the models (Muse Spark was announced in April 2026); Llama, the open-weight family it published up to 2025; its own MTIA chips; and gigawatt-class data centres. Meta is an advertising company that invests in AI to put it into its own apps and glasses; it has no business renting out compute as a cloud. In 2026 it raised its capital expenditure outlook to US$130 to 145 billion, while cutting about 8,000 jobs in May (10-Q). The article sets all this out only as far as Meta's Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the U.S. SEC and its official announcements confirm it, and does not cover social networks or advertising in general.

Sources: Meta's Form 10-K for the year to December 2025 (filed 29 January 2026), its Form 10-Q for the quarter to June 2026 (filed 30 July 2026), and official blog posts, used as primary material. Facts checked on 15 October 2026. Last updated 15 October 2026.

The one thing to grasp first

The key to reading Meta's AI is that the Llama it has published and the Muse it issued in 2026 sit on different tracks Sourced. Llama 4 in April 2025 was open-weight, with the weights published; Muse Spark in April 2026 is used in Meta's own apps and offered outside only through a limited API. The 10-K says it expects to train a combination of open and closed models, and the Muse Spark announcement says it hopes to open-source future versions. This article sets the two statements side by side and does not predict which way it will lean.

2. The logo and how the name is written

A note on names: the legal name is Meta Platforms, Inc., and it is generally called "Meta". In this article "Llama" is Meta's family of open-weight models and "Muse" is the family developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs; they are separate names. The logo shown is the logo mark displayed on the company's official website (about.meta.com).

3. Where the company sits in the AI field

Four types of company involved in AI and machine learning All "AI companies", yet strengths and customers differ across models, chips, cloud and adoption Model developers Chips & memory Cloud & infrastructure Platforms & adopters Builds models and AI Supplies compute parts Rents out compute Offers a base to build on OpenAI / Anthropic Google / Meta NVIDIA / AMD TSMC / SK hynix Microsoft / AWS Oracle / CoreWeave Hugging Face and others Research and compute Performance and supply Capex and customer base Reach among developers Hinges on compute and rivals Hinges on supply and capex Hinges on utilisation Revenue path uncertain Meta is a model developer first, building its own chips and data centres in house It has no cloud business renting out compute; capex goes to its own AI and products, per the 10-K (January 2026)
Fig. 1 The four types of company involved in AI and machine learning, and where Meta sits. The classification is our own, and the companies shown are examples drawn from those covered in this series Our calculation. That Meta has its own MTIA chips and builds its own data centres is based on its 10-K, 10-Q and official announcements.

4. Scale

Because the company as a whole centres on social networks and advertising, this section pulls out only the costs and investments that bear on AI. All come from Meta's 10-K and 10-Q.

ItemWhat it isNotes and category
Revenue2025: US$201.0 billion (2024: US$164.5 billion)All of Meta; almost all from advertising (10-K). April to June 2026: US$60.8 billion, up 28% year on year Sourced
Operating income2025: US$83.3 billion (2024: US$69.4 billion)April to June 2026: US$18.78 billion, down 8% year on year, including severance and other costs (10-Q) Sourced
R&D expense2025: US$57.4 billion (2024: US$43.9 billion)April to June 2026: US$21.7 billion (US$12.9 billion a year earlier). No AI-only breakdown is disclosed Sourced
Capital expenditure2025: US$69.7 billion (purchases basis); US$72.2 billion including finance-lease principal10-K. April to June 2026: US$31.08 billion (including finance-lease principal) Sourced
Employees78,865 (31 December 2025) to 75,472 (30 June 2026)About 8,000 cut in May 2026; the 30 June figure still includes most of those affected (10-Q) Sourced
AI revenueCould not be confirmedNo stand-alone revenue for Muse or Llama is disclosed. This article does not estimate it Not yet confirmed
A caution

The revenue and profit figures above are for all of Meta, not AI revenue. Meta uses AI to improve advertising and features in its own apps, and no disclosure isolating AI-only revenue was found Not yet confirmed. What shows is AI costs (R&D and capex) rising steeply with no matching revenue disclosed.

5. Resources committed to AI and machine learning

The table below shows, for people, money, outside stakes and ties to universities or public bodies, whether Meta's 10-K and 10-Q and official material confirm them.

8. What the company is aiming for in AI

This section goes beyond what the company says directly. It sets out inferences that official material supports, each with its basis.

What can be readPrimary evidence behind itCategory
It ties AI investment to strengthening its own advertising and appsThe 10-K lists the purposes of AI investment as recommending content, improving ad tools and ad delivery and measurement, and developing new products. No business of selling AI to others is describedSourced
It is growing its own chips around inferenceMTIA is "inference-first", with hundreds of thousands already deployed, and MTIA 400, 450 and 500 are planned for generative AI inferenceSourced
It spreads suppliers rather than depend on oneUses NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom (custom chips), Arm (CPU) and AWS, which the company calls a "portfolio approach"Sourced
For models it leans closed for now, keeping open as an optionMuse is closed with the API opening in stages. The 10-K says it expects to use both, and the company expresses a hope to open-source future versionsInference
It is securing power and land early through long-term contractsNuclear agreements, 5 GW in Louisiana, US$279.0 billion of lease obligations, and commitments for outside cloud capacityInference
One inference, explained in full

The 2025 10-K says Meta has a history of open-sourcing and then adds that it has not released everything it has developed and expects to continue training a combination of open and closed models Sourced. The April 2026 Muse Spark announcement puts the model in its own apps, limits the API to selected partners, and says it hopes to open-source future versions Sourced. In July 2026, with Muse Spark 1.1, the API moved to public preview. From this, this article reads Meta as using its most advanced models in house first and opening them outward as needed Inference. Whether a new Llama will be released cannot be confirmed from this material.

9. Map of AI partnerships

Meta's AI infrastructure and investment relationships Only relationships stated in the 10-K, 10-Q and official posts (2025 to July 2026); press reports excluded Meta Models NVIDIA Millions of GPUs (Feb 2026) AMD Instinct GPUs: up to 6 GW Scale AI Minority stake, US$13.8bn (2025) Louisiana venture 20% stake; Hyperion to 5 GW Broadcom Co-develops MTIA (1 GW+) Arm Co-develops a data-centre CPU Vistra / TerraPower / Oklo Nuclear deals (Jan 2026) Constellation Energy Nuclear deal (2025) Chip and GPU suppliers Co-development Investment or venture Power
Fig. 2 Meta and its relationships. Sources: Meta's 10-K and 10-Q (References 1 and 2) and official announcements (References 8 to 14). Only relationships described in official material are shown; relationships discussed in press coverage are left out. Investment amounts are company disclosures, and some stakes have no stated percentage.

10. Technologies, products and services

These are the main products and mechanisms on offer.

AI glassesRay-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta carry Meta AI. Specifications were not checked for this articleReference 4

How to read the Llama licence

The Llama 4 weights are distributed, but the licence is a bespoke set of terms, not the open-source licence the phrase usually implies. The Llama 4 Community License requires a separate licence from Meta for operators with more than 700 million monthly active users, requires that an AI model built with Llama include "Llama" in its name, and requires a "Built with Llama" notice on products and documents, among other terms Sourced. Check the terms before deciding what "open" means here.

A materials engineer's view: the design of the inference chip MTIA is decided by memory bandwidth and fit in the rack

Meta says it designed MTIA "inference-first", raising compute, memory bandwidth and efficiency with each generation Sourced. The new chips have a modular structure that drops straight into existing rack systems, and the company says it can ship a new generation in six months or less. Whether a generation can be swapped in without changing the rack's power and cooling envelope governs how fast it can be deployed.

For GPUs, it uses the Helios rack-scale design that it developed with AMD through the Open Compute Project, with shipments starting in the second half of 2026 Sourced. Data-centre scale is described in gigawatts, which presumes securing power. See also our explainers on AI accelerators, HBM, power and cooling for AI data centers, and data centers and energy storage.

11. The risks this company carries

RiskSubstanceCategory
AI revenue cannot be seenAI costs (R&D up 67% year on year in April to June) are rising steeply with no matching revenue disclosed. The 10-K says that if AI investments are not successful, performance could be harmedSourced
Size of capex and commitmentsThe 2026 outlook is US$130 to 145 billion. Non-cancellable commitments are US$349.3 billion and leases not yet commenced are US$279.0 billion. It also provides a residual value guarantee in Louisiana (threshold about US$28 billion)Sourced
Headcount reductionAbout 8,000 jobs cut in May 2026, a reorganisation as it shifts weight to AI, with US$1.18 billion of severanceSourced
Copyright suits over AI trainingSeveral suits allege that books and other material were improperly acquired and used to train AI (Kadrey and others). On 25 June 2025 the court granted summary judgment on fair use as to the named plaintiffs, but remaining claims continue, with a hearing scheduled for 25 February 2027. No outcome is predicted hereSourced
EU interim measureIn June 2026 the European Commission imposed an interim measure requiring the WhatsApp Business API to be offered free to general-purpose AI providers. Meta intends to appealSourced
Uncertain model pathWhether a new Llama will come, or Muse will be opened, is not settled within the company's statementsInference
AI regulation and safetyThe 10-Q lists the EU AI Act, U.S. state AI laws, and FTC and state attorney-general inquiries into AI chatbots as business risksSourced

12. Glossary

Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL)
The AI organisation that builds Meta's most advanced models, including the Muse series.

A form in which the model's weights (the training result) are distributed so users can run it themselves. Distinct from publishing source code or training data.
MTIA
Meta Training and Inference Accelerator, the AI chip Meta designs.
Mixture of experts (MoE)
A structure that runs only a subset of specialised parts for each input, reducing computation.
Capital expenditure (capex)
Spending on servers, network equipment, data centres and the like.
Residual value guarantee
A promise to make up the shortfall if a leased asset's value at the end of the lease is below a set amount.
Gigawatt (GW)
A unit for the scale of a data centre or its power. In AI it is a rough gauge of how many chips can be run.
Helios
