Meta releases Llama 3.1 in 8B, 70B and 405B sizes with a 128K context window; the 405B, trained on over 15 trillion tokens, is billed as the first frontier-level open model and is free to download.

Meta releases Llama 3.2 at Connect 2024: lightweight 1B and 3B text models for phones and edge devices and 11B and 90B vision models, its first multimodal Llama, all with 128K context and open weights; the vision models were not offered in Europe.

Meta releases Llama 3.3 70B, a text-only 70B instruction-tuned model that Meta says delivers the performance of the 405B Llama 3.1 at lower cost, with a 128K context window and open weights; Meta's chart prices it at $0.1 per 1 million input tokens.

On 9 January 2026 Meta announced agreements with Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo that extend three operating nuclear plants and fund new reactors, unlocking up to 6.6 GW of clean power by 2035 for its AI data centers.

Meta releases Muse Spark, the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs and its first frontier model without open weights; it powers the Meta AI app and scored 52 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at launch, behind only Gemini 3.1 Pro, GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6.

Meta's 2026 proxy lists five executives' 2025 pay from $20.1M to $25.1M; Zuckerberg's $1 salary is topped up by a $14M security allowance and other personal costs, with no stock.

On 23 April 2026 an internal memo from Meta's chief people officer, confirmed to NPR, said the company would cut about 10% of its workforce (some 8,000 people) on 20 May and not fill 6,000 open roles.

Meta releases Muse Spark 1.1, a multimodal reasoning model for agentic tasks with a 1M-token context window, together with a public preview of the Meta Model API at $1.25 per 1 million input tokens and $4.25 per 1 million output tokens; it scores 51 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.

On 29 July 2026 Meta reported second-quarter revenue of US$60.80 billion, up 28%, while net income fell 14% to US$15.85 billion after US$2.40 billion of legal charges and US$1.18 billion of severance for the May layoffs.

Meta releases Muse Spark 1.2, a coding-focused update to Muse Spark 1.1 co-trained with the new Muse Code terminal agent, at an unchanged $1.25 per 1 million input tokens and $4.25 per 1 million output tokens; it scores 54 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index.

Meta releases Muse Spark 1.3, its fourth Muse Spark model in five months, trained for long agentic and coding work and still priced at $1.25 per million input tokens; Artificial Analysis ranks its top variant behind only Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 and Opus 5.

Meta releases Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, its most capable models yet, built around 'Active Memory' and 'Active Focus' for personal and professional agents; Muse Wonder is live on the Meta Model API and Muse Code, Wonder Full for Muse Code subscribers.

Blind's layoff tracker lists an unconfirmed rumour of Meta layoffs at Menlo Park on 18 November 2026, with no count. Meta cut about 8,000 jobs in May and Zuckerberg told staff to expect no more company-wide layoffs in 2026, so any round would likely be team-level. Low confidence.
