Interpretation limit

Do not call this AI spending.

Meta reports company-wide R&D expense. The filing does not allocate this amount to Meta AI or to Llama.

The series is not revenue, funding, valuation, capital expenditure, workforce, or market price unless its category explicitly says so. It is not comparable with a different category on another entity page.

See the multi-company view on the Compute Arms Race capex trend, where company-wide capital expenditure is tracked across all five public parents.
