Meta is asking thousands of its engineers to use MetaCode, its internal AI coding agent, in daily work as a way to generate usage data and feedback that improves the coding capabilities of its own AI models. The push is being led in part by Maher Saba, a vice president in Meta's Applied AI Engineering organization. The effort is framed as an attempt to narrow the gap with Anthropic and OpenAI, whose models currently lead in coding tasks. Details beyond the internal mandate were not available in the accessible portion of the report, which was published on August 5, 2026.
