Sources familiar with the matter revealed to CNBC that Meta plans to unveil the standalone AI app by mid-year. This announcement has already stirred responses from competitors, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinting at potential new ventures in social apps in response to Meta’s move.

This move is part of broader efforts to monetize its AI innovations amidst a competitive market landscape.
Following a report of increased profits and revenue for 2024, Meta is set to enhance its AI infrastructure further. On a recent earnings call, Zuckerberg anticipated that a personalized AI assistant could reach over one billion people this year, positioning Meta’s AI as a leader in the field.
