What are Mark Zuckerberg's new AI plans for Meta?
Mark Zuckerberg is no longer willing to fall behind. On a recent investor call, he said that they, quote, rebuilt the foundation of our AI program. And he said, over the coming months, we're going to start shipping our new models and products, and I expect us to steadily push the frontier over the course of the new year. So a lot is changing in Meta. Today on the podcast, I want to break down all of their new AI improvements, as well as some of the things he said about smart glasses and where we're going to see that in the future. Before we get into all of that, if you've ever wanted to build a tool and you're not a developer, I'd love for you to try out my software platform, which is called AIbox.ai.
You can describe a tool you want to do, and we will have our Vibe Builder link together different AI models, fill out prompts, and build a tool for you that can automate a bunch of different tasks that you do. In addition, you get access to over 40 different AI models all in one place. It's $20 a month, and you get everything from Google, Meta, Cloud, Gemini... Anthropic, OpenAI, tons of different players, including audio, image, and text, all in one place for $20 a month. So if you want to go check it out, it is AIbox.ai. I'll leave a link in the description. I'd love to see what you build, and I hope this saves you a ton of money. All right, let's talk about what's going on with Meta. Mark Zuckerberg says that Meta is going to start seeing new AI models and products within months.
This is, of course, following their huge internal reset that they did for their whole AI company. I mean, there was just a lot of drama in this, but we had Yann LeCun who left, who was formerly their head of AI. We had a ton of acquisitions. Meta has been spending a ton of money. And apparently 2026 is going to be the year that they start bringing out all of their new models, which are going to be coming in the next few months, apparently. And they said that they're going to steadily push the frontier over the course of the new year. Mark Zuckerberg didn't give specific timelines. He also repeatedly emphasized that a lot of their AI driven commerce is going to be a near term priority, something they're working on right now.
He said, quote, this also has implications for commerce. New agentic shopping tools will allow people to find just the right set of products from the business in our catalog, from businesses in our catalog. Meta is definitely not the first person to do this. We've seen OpenAI and Google both kind of introduce these agent based transaction platforms, whether they're partnering with Stripe and Uber. Both of those companies are also doing things. And so there's a lot of these sort of quote unquote, you know, agentic shopping tools. But I think Meta really is positioned well to be a big one.
How is Meta integrating AI into smart glasses?
And especially when we see just how successful TikTok shop has been, I think this is something that Meta could do really well at. I think their bet right now is that their advantage isn't just in the infrastructure, but in all of the data that they have. They said, quote, we're starting to see the promise of AI that understands our personal context, including our history, our interests, our content and our relationships. A lot of what makes agents valuable is the unique context that they can see. And we believe Meta can deliver a uniquely personal experience. What's interesting to me is when you look at what OpenAI is doing, OpenAI has, you know, everything you ever ask it about, everything you ever say, they can store in memory and they can have this kind of dossier that they build on you unless you turn the memory off.
And a lot of people like that. I mean, myself included, because it makes it more personalized. It's able to know what you want, what you think, what the projects you're working on, the businesses you work in, all of that kind of stuff. What's interesting is Zuckerberg already has access to a ton of that just historical data from your relationships to everything about you that he's got from your interests on Instagram or Facebook.
