Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Meta for the week ending August 28, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A 16:9 mid-1980s murder-mystery movie poster of a wide three-story black-and-white engraved Victorian mansion on pure black, with warm amber windows showing a slick hoodie-wearing tech mogul giving a thumbs up, a woman in evening wear holding a bulky VR headset like a crystal ball, a scientist cradling an open scroll labeled with a stylized llama, still-life windows crowded with a miniature replica of the same mansion, stacked AI research books, and sleek smart glasses on velvet, plus one window with a cartoon llama silhouette peeking through lace curtains; at the center open front door stands the signature butler, slim upright silver-haired man in his sixties with pencil mustache, black tailcoat and white gloves, holding a silver tray with a sealed envelope bearing an infinity-loop wax seal; fat rounded extra-heavy white sans-serif title Meta set above the roofline like a movie title, dense crosshatched pen-and-ink linework, campy spooky theatrical mood.
This Week in Meta News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
- Muse Image goes to developers: Meta's Muse Image is an image model that plans a composition, uses tools and checks its own work before returning a result. Meta for Developers says it is on the Meta Model API at $0.01 per image and searches the web on each call. fal also announced it is live there.
- Meta research and hiring: Meta and USC published a paper on scaling the Muon optimizer for diffusion transformers from 1.3B to 15B parameters. The authors say its advantages over AdamW persist across those sizes. A roundup also flagged MoE-ViE, Meta's sparse mixture-of-experts vision encoder, and Axios reported Meta hired OpenAI veteran Luke Metz.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
This week's links related to Meta
Muse Image from @aiatmeta is live on fal. It’s an agentic image model that plans your composition, uses tools, and self-corrects before you ever see a result. Complex briefs hold together instead of falling apart.”

Muse Image is now available on Meta Model API and priced for production volumes at $0.01/image. It’s an agentic image model that reasons before it renders. Each call searches the web to refine the output through iterative passes and evaluates the prompt for precise elements”

Interesting new approach to recursive self-improvement in agents. Systems that add a meta-level hold that level fixed. Systems that edit themselves have to leave part of their own editing machinery untouched to stay stable, which caps realized meta-depth at roughly two. Meta^n”

OpenAI and Anthropic can take compute which costs them $15b a GW, and turn it into $50b+ of revenue. In order to get the credit to build their datacenters, most neoclouds have already signed long term contracts to supply compute at these $15b/GW rates. However, Meta and SpaceX,”

I appreciate METR’s meta-transparency policy here a lot. I was historically very worried about METR ending up providing implicit assurance as part of their work, as (for example) some of the core staff had signed self-cloaking NDAs while they worked at the labs. But it seems”

Scaling Muon for Diffusion Transformers New paper by Meta and USC. “We first establish Muon’s scaling behavior on DiTs from 1.3B to 15B parameters, showing that its optimization and generative quality advantages over AdamW persist across model scales. However, at scale, the”
