Why it matters: Meta AI is best understood as part of a system, not as a label in isolation. The practical questions are what inputs it accepts, what outputs it produces, which evidence supports its capabilities, what constraints surround deployment, and how those details change over time. The Compendium separates the documented facts above from interpretation and records an as-of date so readers can re-check the primary source.

Reading note: this is original explanatory writing. It links to the cited source instead of reproducing protected text. Product availability, model names, pricing, and policies can change; follow the source for the provider's current position.
