What is Meta AI and what is it used for?
Meta AI is Meta's set of AI products: the Meta AI assistant inside the company's apps, models hosted on the Meta Model API, and open-weight models such as the Llama family.
The assistant works in WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Facebook, as well as in its own app and on the website. According to Meta's help pages, it answers questions, researches, helps with shopping and completes tasks. The Meta AI app is also the companion app for Meta's AI glasses, with voice conversations and a Discover feed where users share prompts.
For developers, the documentation at dev.meta.ai lists models hosted on the Meta Model API: Muse Wonder, Muse Spark, Muse Image, Muse Voice Transcribe and the Segment Anything Model.
Open weights follow other paths. Muse Spark Open ships under the Muse Model License, Muse Glimmer ships under Apache 2.0, and both run outside the Model API. The Llama family can be downloaded from llama.com and Hugging Face.
