Meta tried copying a Chinese AI model to beat OpenAI. Instead, it flopped, and now Zuckerberg’s spending billions to fix it.

🚨 Breaking News:
Meta’s AI model Llama 4 bombed with developers, forcing a major strategy shift and a hiring spree of top AI talent.

⚡Wire Simplified

  • Meta mimicked China’s DeepSeek R1 AI model, bad idea

  • Llama 4’s new MoE architecture disappointed the developer community

  • Mark Zuckerberg launched Meta Superintelligence Labs with Scale AI’s CEO leading the charge

  • Meta hired from OpenAI, Apple, and Google to catch up

  • Behemoth version of Llama 4 might get scrapped altogether

✔️Straight to the Point:
Meta’s big AI gamble backfired, but Zuckerberg’s doubling down, betting top talent and big money can help it catch up fast.

🔥 Do you think Meta can catch up to OpenAI and Anthropic?

Microsoft just gave its Edge browser a glow-up. Meet Copilot Mode, your AI assistant for researching, reading, and maybe booking stuff.

🚨 Breaking News:
Microsoft Edge now includes “Copilot Mode,” an experimental AI tool that helps you research, plan, and act directly from your browser.

⚡Wire Simplified

  • Copilot helps you ask questions, make shopping lists, and even book flights

  • It reads tabs (only with permission) to assist better

  • You can use voice commands too, perfect for accessibility

  • Microsoft says Copilot will get smarter with more context later

  • The feature is free (for now) and opt-in during testing

✔️Straight to the Point:
Edge isn’t just a browser now, it’s an AI sidekick. Handy for newbies, but might annoy power users who prefer control.
