About Meta

Meta is a global technology company that develops social platforms, artificial-intelligence systems, immersive computing products, and digital advertising infrastructure. Founded in February 2004 as TheFacebook, the business grew from a college-networking service into an operator of widely used consumer services including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Threads. It became Meta in 2021, reflecting a broader focus on spatial computing and the metaverse.

The company operates through two principal reporting segments: Family of Apps and Reality Labs. Family of Apps encompasses Meta’s consumer communication and social-networking services, supported largely by digital marketing and programmatic advertising systems. Reality Labs develops virtual- and augmented-reality hardware, software, and virtual-world technologies.

Spatial computing and interactive platforms

Reality Labs oversees the Meta Quest product line, Meta Horizon OS, and the Horizon Worlds virtual environment. Its work spans standalone VR headsets, wearable computing, real-time interactive experiences, and creator-oriented tools for virtual worlds. Meta also develops Ray-Ban Meta AI smart glasses with EssilorLuxottica, combining wearable hardware with AI-enabled features.

AI and technology

Meta’s FAIR and GenAI teams develop foundation-model research and the Llama family of large language models. The company is also associated with PyTorch and develops Meta AI products alongside infrastructure for social communication, advertising, and immersive platforms.
