Meta has partnered with defense tech startup Anduril to develop next-generation extended reality equipment for the U.S. military, emphasizing a revitalization of Silicon Valley's historical collaboration with defense. CTO Andrew Bosworth referred to this as a "return to grace" for such partnerships, citing historical ties founded on mutual benefits. The project, which will utilize Anduril's Lattice system alongside Meta's Reality Labs technology, is privately funded and aims to save the military billions. Bosworth also noted it is too early to tell if military contracts could become a significant business segment for Meta.
The Valley was founded on a three-way investment between the military, academics, and private industry. That was the founding of it.
This project incorporates AI-powered systems and technology from Meta's Reality Labs and Llama AI models, aiming to save the military billions.
