Meta Connect 2024 Highlights

Meta’s annual Connect conference is kicking off in Menlo Park, California, where the company is expected to unveil its first augmented reality (AR) glasses, codenamed Orion, as well as a slew of AI news.

Meta has made a huge push over the past year to integrate AI capabilities into its platforms, whether it’s through ChatGPT rival Meta AI, custom chatbot creators on Instagram and WhatsApp, or AI-generated images with the company’s Llama model.

There are also Ray-Ban’s Meta clever glasses, which we expect to hear fresh information about. And then there’s the Meta Quest line of headsets, which usually get huge updates at Connect. The event is a chance for CEO Mark Zuckerberg to show off his vision for social media, the metaverse, AI, and everything in between.
