He stated, “In 2025, we rebuilt the foundation of our AI project,” and predicted that “the new year will continue to push the boundaries of technology.”  
Although no specific timeline was disclosed, Zuckerberg emphasized that AI-driven commerce will become a core focus. He noted, “New intelligent shopping tools will help users accurately match their needs from a vast business catalog.” This statement aligns with the broader industry trend of exploring AI shopping assistants—Google and OpenAI have already established intelligent transaction platforms and secured partnerships with companies such as Stripe and Uber.  
Unlike other AI labs that have built extensive technical infrastructure, Meta believes its unique advantage lies in its personal data assets. Zuckerberg explained, “We are witnessing the potential of AI to understand personal context, including history, interests, content, and social relationships. The value of intelligent agents largely depends on the unique contextual information they can access, and Meta is poised to deliver an irreplaceable personalized experience.”  
This announcement signals Meta’s accelerated integration of AI technology into its social and commercial ecosystems, aiming to build a differentiated competitive advantage by combining personalized data with intelligent agent technology.
Roger Luo said:Meta is deeply integrating AI with social data to establish a moat in the agentic commerce space. However, whether its massive infrastructure investment can translate into a sustainable business model remains to be tested by the market.

MENLO PARK, Calif. – Meta announced today a breakthrough in sensory technology. The company developed a system that simulates smells in virtual environments. This innovation aims to make digital worlds feel more real. Users could soon experience scents during VR activities.

The technology uses compact wearable devices. These attach to existing VR headsets. Tiny containers release specific scent molecules during use. The system precisely controls scent intensity and timing. It matches visual and audio cues in the virtual space.

Researchers studied human smell perception for years. They mapped how the brain processes odors. This knowledge helped create authentic scent combinations. The device can replicate common smells like coffee or flowers. It also mimics complex odors such as rain or forests.

Potential applications span multiple fields. Gaming could feature battle smoke or ocean breezes. Medical training might simulate hospital environments. Virtual travel experiences could include local street food aromas. Retail partners explore digital scent samples for products.

Meta’s engineers solved key technical challenges. Earlier versions had scent residue issues. The new design eliminates lingering odors between experiences. Battery life also improved significantly.

A company spokesperson shared excitement about the project. “This bridges a gap in digital immersion,” they said. “Smell is a powerful memory trigger. Adding it to VR unlocks new possibilities.”

Testing continues with select developers this year. Consumer availability remains undetermined. Meta confirmed ongoing collaboration with scent science experts. Safety evaluations for long-term use are in progress.
