Meta scales GEM generative ads model and compute engine for frontier ads AI
Meta detailed plans to scale GEM, its generative ads recommendation foundation model introduced last year as the industry's largest RecSys foundation model. The company said GEM established its first LLM-inspired paradigm for ads recommendation and drove major performance gains, and it now aims to scale compute and intelligence transfer with next-generation hardware across Meta's entire ads ecosystem.
