Meta's flailing virtual reality social experience is being discontinued in June. It's part of Meta's broader moves to slim down the business that became its namesake. Pour one out from your digital bottle, because Meta is shutting down the virtual reality experience of Horizon Worlds. Meta sent an email blast to Horizon Worlds users today stating that the social VR world will officially end on its Quest VR headsets; starting March 31, Horizon Worlds will no longer be in the Quest store. Some Horizon-specific perks, including Meta Credits, avatars, and some digital clothes and in-world purchases, will also be removed.

Meta is planning sweeping layoffs that could affect 20% or more of the company, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as Meta seeks to offset costly artificial intelligence infrastructure bets and prepare for greater efficiency brought about by AI-assisted workers. No date has been set for the cuts and the magnitude has not been finalized, the people said. Top executives have recently signaled the plans to other senior leaders at Meta and told them to begin planning how to pare back, two of the people said. The sources spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to disclose the cuts. Meta did not immediately comment.

Additionally, we show generalization performance of our proposed method across differentvisualdomains. Withthegiven problemcategory(task),asubsetforlearning can be sampled (via domain episode module in Figure 4 in main text). Here, by replacingclass with task, K-shot andN-task reasoning framework can be defined. Here, we show analogical learning with the existing meta learning framework for fast adaptation fromthesourcedomain tothetargetdomain.

Introspection reveals that our meta learned LAs learn through fast association in a way that is qualitatively different from gradientdescent.

The days of tech giants buying up discrete chips are over. AI companies now need GPUs, CPUs, and everything in between. Ask anyone what Nvidia makes, and they're likely to first say "GPUs." For decades, the chipmaker has been defined by advanced parallel computing, and the emergence of generative AI and the resulting surge in demand for GPUs has been a boon for the company . But Nvidia's recent moves signal that it's looking to lock in more customers at the less compute-intensive end of the AI market--customers who don't necessarily need the beefiest, most powerful GPUs to train AI models, but instead are looking for the most efficient ways to run agentic AI software.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez gives a speech during the World Governments Summit in Dubai on February 3, 2026. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez gives a speech during the World Governments Summit in Dubai on February 3, 2026. The Spanish government has called for an investigation into social media giants X, Meta, and TikTok over their alleged role in producing and spreading AI-generated child sexual abuse material. The Council of Ministers will invoke Article 8 of the Organic Statute of the Public Prosecution Service to request that it investigate the crimes that X, Meta and TikTok may be committing through the creation and dissemination of child pornography by means of their AI, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wrote on X on Tuesday. Sánchez accused the platforms of "attacking the mental health, dignity and rights of our sons and daughters," saying that "the impunity of the giants must end."

Accordingly, extensive evaluations demonstrate the significance of our proposal and its scalability to multimodal large models in boosting robustness.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2026 is Feb. 25 Valve's Steam Machine: Everything we know The controversial technology could roll out as soon as this year. Meta has backed away from highly controversial facial recognition tech in its products and services before, but seemingly not so far that it isn't willing to have another crack at it. A new report from claims Mark Zuckerberg's company wants to add facial recognition to its lineup of branded smart glasses at some point this year. The spoke to four anonymous people with knowledge of Meta's plans, who told the publication that the feature is codenamed Name Tag internally. As you'd expect, it would let people wearing Meta-powered Oakley or Ray-Ban glasses identify people and get information about them using AI.
