AMD in February agreed to sell up to $60 billion worth of AI chips to Meta over five years, giving the Facebook owner warrants that could let it buy as much as 10% of the chip firm if it meets certain milestones.

Jury selection is expected to begin on Wednesday in Los Angeles for another landmark trial about the alleged harms of social media on young users, with Meta and, for the first time, Snap as defendants.

Investors are pressing for evidence that the AI boom can deliver swift returns to justify its enormous price tag.

Meta shares bounced back to their summer 2025 highs this week, riding a wave of investor excitement about Muse, the social media giant's AI agent which presents an opportunity to generate revenue beyond advertising. Concerns linger about whether Meta, which generates almost all of its revenue from advertising, will be able to make such monumental investments pay off.
The Muse Charm, shown at the end of this week's Connect keynote, is a keychain-sized, Tamagotchi-style device with a small screen that shows an animated avatar of the Muse assistant. In a demonstration during the event, Zuckerberg showed that you can tap a fingerprint sensor to start a conversation with it.

Meta's Oversight Board asked the company not to replace fact-overnight Friday, after it said it was testing the crowdsourcing system in Latin America.

Meta’s India and South East Asia head Sandhya Devanathan is departing after 10 years to join OpenAI. This and more in today’s ETtech Top 5.
