Meta’s AI Leaders Discuss Using Google, OpenAI Models in Apps

Meta Platforms’ plans to improve the artificial intelligence features in its apps could lead the company to partner with Google or OpenAI, two of its biggest AI rivals.

Leaders in Meta’s new AI organization, Meta Superintelligence Labs, have discussed using Google’s Gemini model to provide conversational, text-based answers to questions that users enter into Meta AI, the social media giant’s main chatbot, a person familiar with the conversations said. Those leaders have also discussed using models by OpenAI to power Meta AI and other AI features in Meta’s social media apps, another person familiar with the talks said.
