Meta Platforms is a global technology company that operates major social media applications including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The company is heavily investing in artificial intelligence, including the open-source Llama model family, and virtual/augmented reality through Reality Labs.
Competitive moat

- AI Integration: Advantage+ end-to-end automation locking in advertisers.
Recent developments

- Meta Compute: Began monetizing excess GPU capacity through raw compute leasing and AI Model Access as a Service.
