According to a recent reportreport by technology publication The Information based on an internal company memo, Meta is developing a paid version of its AI assistant, Meta AI.
Meta AI's AI assistant is based on the company's latest model, the new Llama 3 AI model.

Make recommendations, create images, solve math problems, create text, and more.
There's no specific information yet on when the paid version of Meta AI will be available or how much it will cost, but a monthly subscription is expected to cost around $20, similar to subscription prices on other competing platforms. ChatGPT Plus, Copilot Pro, Claude Pro, and Gemini Advanced.
Meta AI can be accessed via the meta.ai website or the Meta AI platform, although it is still not available in many countries around the world.
These reports come after Microsoft-backed OpenAI announced the launch of its new model GPT-4o, which has a powerful ability to conduct natural interactive conversations and is currently available to all ChatGPT users.
Amazon, in turn, plans to offer an improved version of its Alexa assistant for a separate monthly subscription later this year.
All technology companies working in the field of artificial intelligence seek a quick financial return on their products to cover the costs of developing, training, and operating artificial intelligence models.
