Zuckerberg says his 8-year-old already codes her own ideas and makes videos 'that would have either taken me months or been impossible previously'

He wrote this in a section of the essay arguing that AI tools now give everyone what he calls ”invention superpowers.” The same section mentions Meta researchers are using these tools to design materials for augmented reality glasses.

Although deeper in the essay, Meta clarifies that even though the free versions of its AI will reach billions of people, anybody who wants more computing power than the free tier allows will need to purchase that through a “dynamic auction.”

Free for billions, an auction for everyone else

In his essay, Zuckerberg describes an AI agent that works around the clock on your health, career, finances and household. In fact, Zuckerberg’s own agent tracks his sleep and gives him feedback while he trains. He also promises a tutor with a doctorate in every subject, pitched at students whose parents can’t currently afford extra help.

Meta mentions that the auction guarantees the lowest possible price for the computing you use, adding that the auction sends capacity to whatever people collectively want most, which means that when a lot of people want computing power at once, the price everyone pays goes up.

However, the essay lists no rates, no start date and no usage limits. Meanwhile, Meta already charges for computing power. In July, the company opened a paid developer API for Muse Spark, its coding model.

Meta’s Hyperion data center

Zuckerberg writes in the essay that Meta will start releasing open-source models again soon.

In April, the company released Muse Spark as its first closed, proprietary model after three years of giving away its Llama models for free download. The essay describes Meta Superintelligence Labs as newly up and running. Zuckerberg announced the unit in June 2025.

The essay also shows how Meta builds its own power generation wherever it invests, so its data centers don’t use electricity that would have gone to local homes. In Richland Parish, Louisiana, where Meta is building its Hyperion data center, the utility Entergy asked state regulators in March for permission to build seven more gas plants, along with solar and battery storage, to supply the site.

Consumer groups told regulators that demand on that scale could raise rates for ordinary Louisiana customers, and Gov. Jeff Landry said in June he had ordered new rules drafted for future data center projects.

Louisiana teachers got $50,935 bonuses

The essay cites Richland Parish as proof that communities benefit. Certified school employees there received bonuses of $50,935 this year, up from $10,200 the year before, and support staff received $17,472, up from $3,323, Superintendent Sheldon Jones told The Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate. The money comes from sales tax collected on construction of the site, and Jones said he expects bonuses at that level to last as long as the building work does.
