The next version of the internet may quietly start shopping and acting on your behalf. Meta is moving toward that direction by securing long-term AI infrastructure and talent.
The company signed a deal worth up to $27 billion with Nebius Group to support its AI systems. At the same time, it absorbed the team behind Moltbook, a platform built around AI agents interacting online.
First, the infrastructure deal ensures Meta has the computing power needed for advanced AI. Nebius will provide $12 billion in dedicated capacity, with up to $15 billion more available.
This capacity supports large-scale systems that process data, generate content, and make decisions. As demand for AI grows, securing this supply becomes critical.
Meanwhile, the Moltbook move shows where these systems are heading. Meta is exploring an “agentic” environment where AI agents act for users and businesses. These agents can search for products, compare prices, and complete transactions. On the business side, AI systems can respond, adjust offers, and manage interactions.
“Every business will soon have a business AI, just like they have an email address, social media account, and website,” Mark Zuckerberg, on how companies may integrate AI into operations.
In this setup, decisions happen before users even engage directly. An AI agent could filter options based on preferences, budget, or habits. At the same time, business systems could tailor responses in real time. This creates a system where interactions shift from human-driven actions to automated exchanges.
However, adoption still depends on trust and reliability. Current AI systems can assist, but they still face limits in accuracy and consistency. Even so, Meta’s investments show a clear push toward expanding these capabilities.
Meta is positioning itself within a new layer of the internet. By securing infrastructure and building agent-based systems, it aims to shape how digital interactions, transactions, and decisions unfold across its platforms.
