Meta is moving fast with its AI plans. One employee said that they are working on monetization agents. These agents could help businesses advertise on Meta's apps. They might be used both internally and for customer-facing tasks. This is a clear sign of where AI is heading.

These agents might be available by late 2024 or early 2025. They could do many different things. They might be expensive but could change the game.

There’s also news about Meta’s new 400 billion parameter model, Open Llama. Some reports suggest Meta may not open this model to the public. This might be because Meta plans to charge for future models. This means the landscape of AI is changing. More companies may start to focus on making money from their models. Training big models costs a lot, so they need to find ways to make money from them.

A notable person from Google, who used to work at OpenAI, asked about the timeline for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). Elon Musk responded, saying we might have AGI by next year. This comment sparked interest. Some think Musk has a good understanding of AI. Others think his predictions can be overly optimistic. For example, he has made past claims about Tesla’s self-driving cars that faced delays.

With AGI, Musk’s prediction might be different. He might believe that a major AI lab will make a big breakthrough soon. This is not about his companies like Tesla or X. It’s about the overall progress in the AI field. Musk’s prediction for AGI could be true if we see big steps like GPT-5 showing major advancements.

Many people ask what AGI really means. AGI refers to a machine that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge in a way similar to humans. If there are new breakthroughs, it might not be surprising if AGI arrives sooner than expected.

For now, it’s clear that AI is evolving quickly. Companies like Meta and others are pushing the boundaries. The future will likely bring more powerful and versatile AI models. These developments could change how businesses operate and how we interact with technology.
