  • The EU version of Meta AI is text-only and does not include image generation, a feature available in non-EU regions, to comply with local regulatory requirements.

  • The rollout will occur gradually across 41 European countries and 21 overseas territories, with availability in six languages.
  • Meta has invested $60-65 billion in AI infrastructure for 2025 and aims to grow Meta AI's user base from 700 million to over one billion globally by the end of the year.
