Meta opts you in

Meta Will Target Ads From Your AI Chats

Meta will start using data from your interactions with Meta AI (and other Meta AI features) to refine ad targeting across Facebook and Instagram. Unless you’re in the EU, UK or South Korea, you can’t opt out. 

How it might work: Ask Meta AI about hiking routes, and expect more trekking packs in your feed. Use Ray-Ban Meta glasses and voice/photo AI features, those signals can join your ad profile if you’re logged into the same account.

Monetization angle: AI has mostly shipped “free.” Feeding chat signals into the ad engine lets Meta turn engagement into revenue without charging users directly.

Thinking Machines Launches Tinker for Fine-Tuning Frontier Models

Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati has unveiled the first product from her new startup, Thinking Machines Lab: a tool called Tinker that lets developers customize powerful open-source models without needing to manage complex GPU clusters or training runs.

What it does: Tinker supports fine-tuning Meta’s Llama and Alibaba’s Qwen models. Developers can use supervised learning with labeled data, or reinforcement learning with feedback signals, to build specialized AI systems—then download and run them anywhere. Beta testers say the platform strikes the right balance between abstraction and control.

The team behind Tinker: Murati co-founded the company with a group of OpenAI veterans and raised $2B at a $12B valuation earlier this year. The startup plans to expand Tinker’s capabilities and continue publishing research to improve how big models are tuned, with the longer-term goal of opening frontier-level experimentation to a wider audience.

OpenAI Lines Up Memory Muscle

OpenAI inked letters of intent with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to produce DRAM wafers and scale to up to 900K high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips per month for Stargate, alongside exploring AI data centers in South Korea.

Who gets what:

• Samsung & SK Hynix: Commit capacity, explore local data-center builds, and integrate OpenAI enterprise tools internally.

• OpenAI: A steadier pipeline of scarce HBM—critical for training/inference throughput—and geographic diversification of supply.
