However, the latest expansion will not include the new character voices for the AI chatbot that company CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed at the company’s annual Connect conference.

These features are set to be released on a different schedule, according to the company.

Additionally, Meta AI will soon be accessible on Ray-Ban Meta glasses in the UK and Australia, further extending the platform’s reach and capabilities.

The latest development comes after Meta Platforms  introduced Movie Gen, an AI video generator capable of creating or editing videos from simple text prompts.

This tool, which can generate videos up to 16 seconds long, is said to position Meta in direct competition with OpenAI and Google, as the race to develop advanced AI technologies intensifies.
