Meta’s Zuckerberg to Deepen Tie-Up with LG on Next-Gen Devices

Mark Zuckerberg discussed ways to deepen Meta Platforms Inc.’s strategic alliance on extended-reality technology with LG Electronics Inc., making his latest stop on a tour of Asia that’s taken the billionaire founder from Tokyo to Seoul.

Meta’s CEO and LG Electronics Chief Executive Officer William Cho spent two hours going over business strategies for so-called XR devices, considered a next phase after early virtual and augmented reality devices such as the Quest headset. The pair discussed Meta’s large language models and the potential to build AI into consumer devices, LG said in a statement. The Korean company mentioned in particular how Meta’s platform can dovetail with LG’s content and TV business to create a “distinctive ecosystem.”
