π¨ BREAKING: Meta is putting AI behind a subscription wall π
Meta One is here with upgraded AI tools and 50+ features across:
β Instagram
β Facebook
β WhatsApp
And apparently 15M+ users have already subscribed or started trials.
AI is slowly becoming another monthly bill.
The bigger question: how many people will actually pay for better AI inside apps they already use?

π¨ JUST IN: China's ByteDance is reportedly training a 10T parameter AI model, around 3x larger than its previous flagship model.
If accurate, this puts ByteDance in the same conversation as the largest frontier AI systems.
The bigger picture:
> China's AI race is accelerating, not slowing.
> Consumer internet companies are now competing directly in frontier model development.
> The focus is shifting from chatbot features to building the infrastructure for next generation AI.
The global AI race is becoming increasingly competitive.
