The Verge·high signal

Financial Times reports Meta is training a photorealistic 3D AI avatar of Mark Zuckerberg, built on the company's Llama LLMs and trained on his public remarks, blog posts, earnings call transcripts, and internal writings. Zuckerberg is personally training and testing it inside the newly formed Superintelligence Labs. The avatar is designed for large virtual meetings and company updates; separately, he's also building a 'CEO agent' to retrieve information and cut through management layers. Widely confirmed by Engadget, Slashdot, and The Verge within 24 hours.
