“Its new models deliver competitive performance at dramatically lower cost — including Muse Glimmer, an open-weight system small enough to run locally on a laptop.”

“Zuckerberg cast the push as 'superintelligence for everyone' in a sweeping manifesto this week, reviving Meta's open-AI ambitions as the U.S. races to regain ground from China.”

“Zuckerberg had a great point in that article he just wrote... he said, why are you rushing to create a future that you don't believe in? You think you're going to basically put everyone out of work. You think you're creating a replacement species for humanity. Why are you rushing to create this if you're so bearish on the future that you're creating?”

“The effort is part of the 'personal superintelligence' vision outlined by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, though the company's AI software remains less powerful than that of rivals.”

“What is the reason why five years from now, any of the glasses that people wear are not going to be able to have this kind of functionality to help people out throughout their day?”

“The technology is secondary. The fashion and the wearing it is actually primary. In order to unlock that, it needs to be that the glasses are something that you're proud to wear, and they need to be comfortable, so that way you'll wear them for long periods of time.”

“When we started that, we thought that that was really ambitious, cure and prevent all diseases this century. Now it's probably too conservative. I would guess it'll be much sooner than the end of the century when you get there.”

“You can't just go straight to cells in a way without understanding the protein modeling. And then if you're trying to understand something like the way the immune system works or a bunch of cells interact together, then it's tough to do that without first understanding cells... I do think that a big part of the strategy is this view that you need to build it up hierarchically.”
