Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday at Meta Connect 2024 that Meta AI is one of the most used AI assistants across the world with "almost" 500 million monthly active users. Zuckerberg said that Meta AI is on track to become the most used assistant across the world.

We're almost at 500 million monthly activities, and we haven't even launched in some of the bigger countries yet," Zuckerberg said at the event, pointing out that it hasn't launched in the EU yet.

Meta had stated earlier that it had over 400 million monthly users worldwide. The CFO of the company, Susan Li, said during the Q2 2024 call that India is the biggest market for Meta AI, mainly through WhatsApp in a country where it has more than 500 million users.
Compared to this, the OpenAI ChatGPT chatbot boasted more than 200 million weekly users.

Meta today is launching a new family of models called Llama 3.2 with new multimodal capabilities. The company also is launching Llama 3.2 1B and 3B lightweight models — models that weren't trained on European user data  — in Europe.

At the event, Meta also announced new celebrity voices as well as lip-synced translations to Meta AI. The company also extended its generative AI-powered "Imagine" feature across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger to create photos through prompts. Plus, Meta AI can understand your photos and give you answers about them and even edit them.
