The Facebook founder said AI, including large language models, would continue to improve Meta\u2019s existing social media and advertising business by delivering highly personalised content to users. Zuckerberg<\/a> said current recommendations systems for users\u2019 feeds and for advertising were \u201cprimitive compared to what will be possible soon\u201d. <\/p>\n Over the past year, Zuckerberg has intensified Meta\u2019s push to develop \u201cpersonal superintelligence\u201d in an attempt to catch up with rivals such as OpenAI and Google in building top-performing models. He has poured billions of dollars into poaching top talent from peers and building out a fleet of data centres across the globe. <\/p>\n He reassured investors that Meta would start launching new AI models and products in the coming months, with new opportunities to make money through subscriptions, advertising and commerce. <\/p>\n Zuckerberg appeared to temper expectations after its previous Llama 4 model, released last April, lagged expectations. He said the company\u2019s next models would be \u201cgood\u201d but that the company would \u201csteadily push the frontier over the course of the year\u201d. <\/p>\n The FT reported<\/a> in December that the company was aiming for its new large language model, codenamed Avocado, to perform at the same level as Google\u2019s Gemini 2.5 upon its release and catch up to Gemini 3 by the summer.<\/p>\n Investors punished the tech group after its last earnings in October after news of Zuckerberg\u2019s plans<\/a> for greater data centre spending. Its shares fell more than 11 per cent the following day, wiping almost $208bn from its market capitalisation.<\/p>\n Since then, however, Zuckerberg has only increased his infrastructure ambitions. Earlier this month he created an initiative called Meta Compute<\/a> focused on building \u201chundreds of gigawatts\u201d of AI data centre capacity over the coming decades.<\/p>\n A single gigawatt of data centre capacity costs tens of billions of dollars to build and requires electricity equivalent to the output of a nuclear reactor.<\/p>\n Zuckerberg also this month named Goldman Sachs executive Dina Powell McCormick as the company\u2019s new president and vice-chair<\/a>. <\/p>\n A former senior official in Donald Trump\u2019s first administration, she has been tasked with developing partnerships with governments to finance and deploy data centres around the world.<\/p>\n Recommended<\/p>\n
