Zuck Reloaded: Meta’s Quiet Power Move
In partnership with
AI Daybreak: Your Daily Dose of Silicon Beach Madness
By Tommy Vee
Happy Monday, fellas! OpenAI is throwing $100 billion at the wall like it’s Monopoly money, Meta is brewing up Mango and Avocado to reclaim its crown, and Resolve AI just hit unicorn status while most humans are still rebooting their laptops. Billion-dollar bets, fruit‑named models, and autonomous server-fixing robots… This is the playground where the future gets written in code, cash, and chaos. Keep your eyes open and your brain sharper, because if you blink, you’ll miss the punchline… and the payday.
All Gas, No Brakes: OpenAI’s $100B Race to the Future
OpenAI just walked in asking for $100 billion at an $830 billion valuation, like it’s ordering a drink and telling the bartender to keep the change. Billion with a B, again, because reality clearly left the building. This is not a funding round, it is a land grab. Compute is bleeding money, rivals are circling, and OpenAI is basically saying “we will burn the cash pile until something godlike comes out the other side.” It is expensive, reckless, and perfectly on brand for a future where the smartest machine wins and everyone else explains why they hesitated.

Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels. Plus, easier access to self-serve CTV ad buying tools and targeting options will lead to a surge in locally-targeted streaming campaigns.
Read our guide to find out why growth marketers should make sure CTV is part of their 2026 media mix.
Zuck Reloaded: Meta’s Quiet Power Move
Meta just announced it is cooking up a new image and video model, code-named Mango, set to hit sometime in 2026 along with a text model dubbed Avocado. They are trying to flip the script and claw back into the generative AI fight where the heavyweights like OpenAI and Google are already throwing haymakers. Inside the walls they’re calling it a whole new chapter, with Alex Wang running point inside Meta Superintelligence Labs and crews pulled in from other big players. The plan is bold and a little bonkers - blend images, videos, text, and maybe even “world reasoning” - which basically means teaching a machine to see, think, and act without holding its hand every step of the way. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about pretty pictures. Meta is trying to take billions of social media eyeballs and turn them into a moat while everybody else scrambles for AI dominance. If it lands, they might finally stop being the awkward kid at the AI party. If it flops, well, at least they’ll have some tasty fruit names for the blooper reel.

$1 Billion on Autopilot: Resolve AI’s Wild Series A Ride
Resolve AI just blasted into unicorn territory with a $1 billion headline valuation after its Series A, even though the cash trail and revenue numbers look more like a startup mixtape than a blockbuster hit. They built an autonomous SRE, a robot wrench-turner for busted cloud systems, because hiring humans to fix outages costs an arm and a half. Investors lined up, Lightspeed led the charge, and suddenly a company pulling in a few million in revenue is worth what most folks only dream of. It’s like selling tickets to the next apocalypse… the ticket price is insane, but everyone wants a front-row seat anyway.
