Investing.com-- Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) is planning to introduce improved voice features in the latest version of its Llama artificial intelligence, the Financial Times reported on Friday, as the social media giant looks to further its offerings of the technology.

The company will introduce improved voice features in its latest large language model, Llama 4, over the coming weeks, the FT report said, citing people familiar with the matter. The push into voice features also reflects Meta’s bet that the future of AI-powered agents will be conversational, rather than text-based. 

Meta is also looking at trialling premium subscriptions for its AI assistant, Meta AI, for agentic purposes, the FT report said. 

Meta has invested heavily in improving its AI features and capabilities over the past two years, having recently unveiled plans to build an AI coding agent that has the capabilities of a mid-level engineer. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said during the company’s fourth quarter earnings that it will spend up to $65 billion in 2025 to bolster its AI offerings, although a bulk of this spend will be dedicated to data center infrastructure. 

But the company is grappling with a host of competitors in the AI industry, from its fellow American internet giants, as well as new offerings from Chinese companies over the past month.
