A Reuters source says he’s created a new division at Meta - dubbed Superintelligence Labs - to lead the effort. That’s after Meta’s latest AI model - Llama 4 - got a poor reception. Zuckerberg hopes the new unit will create new cash flows from products including smart glasses.

Apple could use models from Anthropic or OpenAI to power an AI version of its Siri digital assistant. That’s according to reports by Bloomberg.
