🚀 Meta’s $9B AI War Machine: Prometheus & Superintelligence
Meta’s going full Tony Stark with Prometheus, a GPU-charged supercomputer dropping in 2026, and Hyperion, a 5GW beast on the horizon. Their Superintelligence Labs, led by ex-Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and ex-GitHub chief Nat Friedman, is snatching talent like Jensen (chain-of-thought guru) from OpenAI and Google with $300M contracts. But here’s the drama: Meta might lock down Llama 4, ditching its open-source cred, which has privacy hawks clutching their pearls. They’re also weaving AI into WhatsApp, ads, and Ray-Ban smart glasses, with whispers of a superintelligence quest. Oh, and Meta’s begging Australia to use social media data for AI training—privacy storm alert!
➡️ Why it matters: Meta’s building an AI juggernaut, but a closed Llama could spark a trust crisis. Hero or villain?
🤖 OpenAI’s Browser Blitz & Codex Magic
OpenAI’s turning sci-fi into reality with ChatGPT Agent (Operator + Deep Research), which browses, clicks, and snags the best Amazon deals while checking with you for big moves. They’re also cooking Aura, a Chromium-based browser for Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, potentially tied to GPT-5. Meanwhile, Codex, a coding powerhouse, was whipped up in 7 weeks by a 17-person dream team, outpacing pricey acquisitions like Windsurf. OpenAI’s new affiliate revenue model with Shopify means ChatGPT could cash in on your purchases. This ain’t just a chatbot—it’s your digital sidekick!
➡️ Why it matters: OpenAI’s morphing into your personal shopper and coder. Is this the internet’s next big bang?
