Mark Zuckerberg published a roughly 6,500-word essay on Meta's website on Monday, August 10, 2026, laying out a vision in which "superintelligence" is shared with as many people and businesses as possible. He committed Meta to free versions of its AI tools for "billions of people," pricing at the "lowest price possible," and a "fully private mode" for personal AI agents that would block Meta and other providers from seeing user information. Meta will create a "Future is for Everyone Fund" for communities hosting its data centers, sized at $1 billion according to the Wall Street Journal, alongside pledges on electricity prices, local water supply and worker training; Meta's 2026 capital budget of $145 billion will go largely to data centers.
