Meta Connect 2023 - AI at Meta

AI at Meta Connect 2023

This year we explored how AI will shape the ways people will connect, and introduced new AI experiences and features that can enhance your connections with others – and give you the tools to be more creative, expressive, and productive. We also shared how developers, researchers and builders of all kinds can work with tools like Llama to build the next wave of innovative experiences.

What’s new for Developers

This year at Connect, we covered updates for developers building new experiences for our family of apps, the metaverse and much more — plus details on new devices like Quest 3 and the next generation of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.

Building the future, today.

“When you look at the innovation on display today, we are taking a significant leap forward to unlock this new set of immersive experiences. AI is shaping the way we’re building the metaverse.
