Overview

• At Meta Connect 2025, a Live AI cooking segment gave out-of-context instructions and a glasses-to-glasses video call repeatedly failed on stage.
• Mark Zuckerberg told the audience the issues stemmed from bad Wi‑Fi.
• Meta developer Jake Steinerman later posted that the cooking demo activated many devices at once and effectively DDoS’d the company’s servers.
• CTO Andrew Bosworth told TechCrunch a previously unseen display-sleep bug prevented the incoming call from being answered, diverging from the Wi‑Fi explanation.
• Audience laughter and viral clips on social media amplified doubts about reliability as Meta positions its $799–$800 AI smart glasses as a flagship wearable.
