Meta unveiled its MTIA 400 chip at the Hot Chips semiconductor conference, marking an unusual dual-purpose design for AI training and advertising inference. The accelerator targets LLM training whilst handling deep learning recommender models for Meta's ad systems. The chip features two compute dies built on 3nm process technology, delivering 12 petaFLOPS of MXFP4 compute. It outpaces Nvidia's Blackwell accelerators by 20% at higher precisions but trails newer chips like Rubin by threefold. Each rack houses 72 accelerators across 18 compute blades. The design combines eight 36GB HBM3e stacks providing 288GB memory and 9.2TB/s bandwidth. Meta plans an inference-optimised MTIA 450 for 2026, doubling memory bandwidth with HBM4. The MTIA 500, expected in 2027, will further increase bandwidth by 50% and double compute chiplets.
Meta has agreed to a settlement with US state attorneys general over allegations of harm to teenagers on its platforms, ending a civil trial in Northern California. The company will pay up to $16.7 billion over 10 years and implement significant changes to Instagram and Facebook for teen users. The settlement, approved by US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, introduces forced time limits, notification blocks during school hours, and parental alerts when teens contact suspicious accounts or create secondary profiles. Access will be blocked overnight and limited to two hours daily unless parents allow more. Child safety advocates and digital rights groups have raised concerns about the effectiveness of these measures. They worry the changes place too much burden on caregivers and rely on unreliable age-assessment systems. Critics also warn that increased age verification could entrench Meta's surveillance practices.
Meta Platforms is reportedly in settlement talks with US state attorneys general over claims it designed its platforms to be addictive to younger users and improperly collected children's data. The federal trial, which began 12 August in Oakland, involves consumer-protection claims from California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey, plus federal privacy claims from 29 states. Meta said in July the four states calculated potential penalties of roughly $1.4 trillion, though the company disputes that figure. The states are also seeking mandatory platform changes affecting product design and data collection. Meta faces thousands of youth-related claims. A March verdict found Meta and YouTube liable for social-media-related harm, with Meta allocated 70% of a $6 million award.
Meta Platforms shares fell 4.7% on Wednesday, dropping from an intraday high of $598.37 to $570.25, after initially surging on settlement news. According to Reuters, the social media giant could pay up to $16.68 billion to settle claims from 29 states over alleged harm to children. The proposed settlement, equal to roughly 27.4% of Meta's latest quarterly revenue of $60.8 billion, would require stronger protections for teenagers, including daily usage caps and nighttime restrictions. Meta admitted no wrongdoing. Whilst investors initially welcomed the removal of legal uncertainty, concerns emerged that tighter controls could reduce user engagement and shrink advertising inventory. At $570.25, Meta trades 32.35% below its $842.91 GF Value estimate, suggesting the market has already factored in significant legal and operating risks.
Meta Platforms has agreed to pay $17 billion to settle claims it failed to protect young users on Facebook and Instagram. Texas will receive over $1 billion of this amount, which will fund youth mental health services, crisis resources, digital literacy initiatives and school grants. The settlement covers lawsuits filed by Texas and 46 other states in 2023. It ends a trial that began last week in California federal court, where CEO Mark Zuckerberg was expected to testify. Meta denied liability whilst agreeing to implement new safety measures. These include restricting youth scrolling time, hiding like counts, limiting late-night feed access, increasing age verification and requiring parental consent to disable certain safety settings. The case stemmed from 2021 reports revealing Meta knew Instagram could harm teenagers' mental health and body image.
