Zuckerberg announced 1 billion monthly Meta AI users
The artificial intelligence-based assistant from Meta company is now used by 1 billion monthly active users. This was announced by Mark Zuckerberg at the annual shareholders meeting. He also emphasized that this year they will focus on deepening user experience and turning Meta AI into a leading personal assistant with emphasis on personalization, voice communication and entertainment.
According to Zuckerberg, the strategy consists in further product development before building a business model around it. When Meta AI becomes even better, opportunities will emerge either to implement paid recommendations or offer a subscription allowing users to access greater computational resources.
Back in February, CNN television channel reported Meta’s plans to test a paid subscription similar to competing chat applications such as ChatGPT from OpenAI. Interestingly, Zuckerberg noted “It may seem funny that 1 billion monthly active users doesn’t look large-scale enough for us, but that’s exactly the position we’re in”.
Personally I don’t believe these numbers. Personally I don’t know a single person who would use Meta AI. Moreover – I don’t even know a person who simply talked about it. Most likely, they made a gray pattern. They count login to any of their social networks as login to Meta AI and that’s it. There you have 1 billion monthly active users.

GPT-5 was hacked in 24 hours2 independent research companies NeuralTrust and SPLX discovered critical vulnerabilities in the security system of the new model just 24 hours after GPT-5's release. For comparison, Grok-4 was hacked in 2 days, making the GPT-5 case even more alarming.
Threats and $1 trillion don't improve neural network performanceYou've surely seen these "secret tricks" for controlling neural networks. Like threats, reward promises, emotional manipulations. But do they actually work? Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Wharton School conducted a large-scale experiment with 5 advanced models: Gemini 1.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0 Flash, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini and GPT o4-mini.
Anthropic integrated Opus 4.1 into Claude Code and cloud platformsAnthropic released Claude Opus 4.1. This isn't just another update, but a substantial improvement in coding capabilities and agent functionality. What's especially pleasing — the new version is integrated not only into the classic Claude interface, but also into the Claude Code tool. As well as available through API, Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI.
