Meta to resume open-weight AI releases, Zuckerberg says in 6,500-word essay

Meta Platforms said Mark Zuckerberg’s 6,500-word manifesto argues that advanced AI should be built for individuals through "personal superintelligence," while outlining a major infrastructure buildout, renewed open-weight model releases and new community initiatives. The company said 2026 capital expenditures are expected to reach $130 billion to $145 billion to fund data centers and related infrastructure, after reporting $31.1 billion in second-quarter capital expenditures. Meta also reported second-quarter revenue of $60.8 billion, up 28% year over year, operating expenses up 55%, adjusted operating margin down to 36.8% from 43% a year earlier, and free cash flow of $784 million, down from $8.55 billion a year earlier. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $90.3 billion at the end of June, and Family of Apps reached 3.6 billion daily active people in June. Meta said it will resume releasing open-weight models after pausing the practice during last year’s AI reorganization, and announced the open-source launch of the 30-billion-parameter Muse Glimmer model under an Apache 2.0 license on Hugging Face, with Muse Spark 1.2 planned for release later this year.
