Meta doubles down on AI glasses with massive spending plans

[bonk]

Meta is significantly increasing its investment in AI infrastructure and wearables. The company expects capital expenditures of up to $135 billion in 2026, largely to support its AI and “superintelligence” efforts. Zuckerberg also reaffirmed his belief that AI-powered smart glasses are the next major consumer computing platform.

After scaling back metaverse ambitions, Meta has focused on AI wearables, with Zuckerberg saying sales of its smart glasses tripled over the past year. As rivals like Google, Apple and Snap also move into the space, Meta is positioning itself as an early leader in bringing AI glasses to market.
