Meta's April was capex-driven and headcount-funded. CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed an $115-135B AI capex year under new CAIO Alexandr Wang while announcing 8,000 layoffs starting May 20 — concentrated in middle management. The Model Capability Initiative rolled out keystroke and screenshot recorders on US employees to train the agents that will replace them.

On the model side: Llama 4 details surfaced and Meta's $2B grab of Manus triggered Beijing's order to ByteDance, Moonshot, and StepFun to reject US capital without state approval. AI Weekly tracks every Meta release, restructure, and data deal.
