By
MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nasdaq: META) (“Meta” or the “Company”) announced today the pricing of its previously announced concurrent separate underwritten public offerings of (i) 250,000,000 series A depositary shares (“Depositary Shares”), each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of newly issued 6.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.000006 per share (“Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $50 per Depositary Share (the “Depositary Shares Offering”) and (ii) $25.0 billion of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.000006 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) offered in connection with the forward sale agreements described below, at a public offering price of $625.00 per share (the “Common Stock Offering” and, together with the Depositary Shares Offering, the “Offerings”). The Common Stock Offering was upsized to $25.0 billion from the previously announced offering size of $22.5 billion.
Meta has granted to the underwriters of the Depositary Shares Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 37,500,000 Depositary Shares at the public offering price less the applicable underwriting discount, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The net proceeds from the Depositary Shares Offering will be approximately $12.5 billion (or approximately $14.3 billion if the underwriters exercise in full their over-allotment option to purchase additional Depositary Shares) after deducting the applicable underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Meta. Meta intends to use the net proceeds from the Depositary Shares Offering for general corporate purposes.
Holders of the Depositary Shares will be entitled to a proportional fractional interest in the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock, including conversion, dividend, liquidation and voting rights, subject to the provisions of a deposit agreement. The Preferred Stock will accumulate dividends (which may be paid initially in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of Class A Common Stock or in any combination of cash and Class A Common Stock) at a rate per annum equal to 6.50% on the liquidation preference thereof, which is $1,000 per share, payable when, as and if declared by Meta’s board of directors (or an authorized committee thereof), on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2027 and ending on, and including, August 15, 2029. Unless earlier converted, each outstanding share of Preferred Stock will automatically convert for settlement on or about August 15, 2029, into between 1.3620 and 1.6000 shares of Class A Common Stock (and, correspondingly, each Depositary Share will automatically convert into between 0.0681 and 0.0800 shares of Class A Common Stock), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, determined based on the volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day prior to August 15, 2029 (the “final averaging period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the issuance of Meta’s Class C common stock, par value $0.000006 per share (the “Class C Common Stock”) to be established by Meta’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 21, 2026 and satisfaction of certain other conditions, (1) each share of Preferred Stock (and, correspondingly, each Depositary Share) will be convertible into shares of Class C Common Stock for settlement on or about August 15, 2029 in a number not less than the then-current minimum conversion rate nor greater than the then-current maximum conversion rate, determined based on the volume-weighted average price of the Class C Common Stock during the final averaging period, (2) other than during a fundamental change conversion period (as defined in the prospectus supplement relating to the Depositary Shares Offering), at any time after the 50th trading day immediately following the Class C Dividend Trigger Date (as defined in the prospectus supplement relating to the Depositary Shares Offering) and prior to the mandatory conversion settlement date, a holder of 20 Depositary Shares may cause the bank depositary to convert one share of Preferred Stock, on such holder’s behalf, into a number of shares of Class C Common Stock equal to the then-current minimum conversion rate and (3) cumulative dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of Class C Common Stock or in any combination of cash and Class C Common Stock, at the election of Meta. Currently, there is no public market for the Depositary Shares or the Preferred Stock. Meta has applied to list the Depositary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “METAM.” The Depositary Shares Offering is expected to close on October 29, 2026, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to closing.
Concurrently with the Depositary Shares Offering, Meta entered into forward sale agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “forward purchasers”) initially with respect to an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock. Upon the issuance of the Class C Common Stock and satisfaction of certain other conditions, Meta expects that such forward sale agreements will reference both the Class A Common Stock and the Class C Common Stock. In connection with these forward sale agreements, the forward purchasers or their respective affiliates are expected to borrow from third parties and have agreed to sell to the underwriters in the Common Stock Offering an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock. The Common Stock Offering is expected to close on October 29, 2026, subject to satisfaction of the conditions to closing.
Meta has also granted the underwriters of the Common Stock Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to $3.75 billion of additional shares of the Class A Common Stock. If such option is exercised, Meta expects to enter into additional forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers in respect of the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock that is subject to the exercise of such option. Meta does not expect to initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by the forward purchasers (or their affiliates) in the Common Stock Offering. At an initial forward price of approximately $622.92 per share (which is approximately the price at which the underwriters of the Common Stock Offering have agreed to buy the shares of Class A Common Stock offered thereby), Meta expects to receive net proceeds, before expenses, from the Common Stock Offering of approximately $24.9 billion (or approximately $28.7 billion if the underwriters of the Common Stock Offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock), subject to the price adjustment and other provisions of the forward sale agreements, upon settlement of the forward sale agreements, which Meta expects to occur on or prior to November 19, 2027. Meta intends to use the net proceeds it receives upon future settlement of the forward sale agreements and any additional forward sale agreements for general corporate purposes.
Pursuant to the terms of the forward sale agreements and any additional forward sale agreements, Meta intends to issue and deliver, upon settlement of the forward sale agreements or any additional forward sale agreements, on one or more dates specified by Meta on or prior to November 19, 2027, an aggregate of 40,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (or an aggregate of 46,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full and if Meta enters into additional forward sale agreements with respect to such shares) to the forward purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds per share equal to the applicable forward sale price, which will be approximately $622.92, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale agreements and any additional forward sale agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the issuance of the Class C Common Stock and satisfaction of certain other conditions, these forward sale agreements will reference both the Class A Common Stock and the Class C Common Stock and, in certain circumstances, Meta will have the ability to settle all of the forward sale agreements through the delivery of only shares of Class C Common Stock.
The completion of the Depositary Shares Offering is not conditioned upon completion of the Common Stock Offering, and the completion of the Common Stock Offering is not conditioned upon completion of the Depositary Shares Offering.

AGIBOT Unveils GO-3 Preview, Takes Top Spot on Three Embodied AI Benchmarks
Published
31 minutes agoon
November 3, 2026By
The new embodied foundation model connects pre-training, post-training and post-deployment learning, helping robots develop general-purpose capabilities and continuously improve through real-world experience.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AGIBOT unveiled GO-3 Preview, an embodied foundation model that supports large-scale learning across the full lifecycle of pre-training, post-training and post-deployment. The model has also secured first-place rankings on three major embodied AI benchmarks—RoboDojo, RoboTwin and RoboColiseum—and will be fully open-sourced by the end of 2026.
Built on AGIBOT’s proprietary embodied-native architecture, WRAM (World Reasoning Action Model), GO-3 Preview unifies task understanding, future-state prediction and action generation to enable robots to generalize across tasks and perform precise manipulation. Together with Genie Evolver, AGIBOT’s hybrid post-training system, and Genie Master, its embodied agent framework, GO-3 Preview forms an integrated learning system spanning pre-training, post-training and real-world deployment. AGIBOT calls this approach “full-lifecycle scaling,” designed to help robots develop general capabilities, refine their skills through interaction and continuously improve by learning from real-world work.
Large language models have made remarkable advances in reasoning and knowledge-based tasks, but working in the physical world requires more than understanding instructions. Tasks such as grasping small objects and assembling components demand the ability to anticipate environmental changes, manage contact forces and execute precise physical movements. For embodied AI, the challenge is not simply to scale model training, but to extend learning across the entire lifecycle. Rather than developing capabilities solely during pre-training, robots must also learn through post-training interactions and continue adapting after deployment. GO-3 Preview is designed around this principle: enabling robots not only to learn how to perform tasks, but also to become more capable through performing them.
Pre-Training Scaling: Building General Capabilities That Transfer Across Tasks
Consider a simple instruction: “Pick up the cup.” The object could be a mug with a handle or a smooth glass, positioned in the middle of a table or surrounded by clutter. To handle such variations, a robot cannot simply memorize specific objects or fixed movements. It needs general-purpose capabilities that transfer across tasks and environments. During pre-training, GO-3 Preview addresses this challenge by scaling both data and model capabilities through its embodied-native WRAM architecture. This approach is designed to help robots learn transferable skills and adapt more quickly to unfamiliar situations.
WRAM connects task understanding, future-state prediction and action generation within a unified architecture. Three core designs — CoAE, SVP and KASO — work together to help the model understand what needs to be done, anticipate what may happen next and generate the actions required to complete a task.
CoAE (Control-Oriented Autoencoder) extracts visual representations tailored to robotic control, preserving information about object positions, shapes and spatial relationships. By linking visual perception to physical action, it provides a foundation for predicting future states and generating appropriate movements.
SVP generates a complete prediction of future states in a single step based on current observations and task conditions. The action-generation module then learns how to move from the current state toward the predicted outcome. By connecting the robot’s observations with possible future developments, SVP helps the model anticipate changes rather than relying solely on immediate visual input.
KASO addresses the challenge of multiple plausible outcomes in physical environments by selecting future predictions that are more consistent with the actions actually taken during training. These selected predictions are used for joint learning, helping align future-state prediction with action generation so the model can learn actions that lead to physically consistent outcomes.
Building on these three mechanisms, GO-3 Preview scales learning through both data and model development. On the data side, the model learns from heterogeneous sources. Human first-person videos provide rich examples of object interactions and task execution, while robot trajectories establish connections between observations, actions and their physical outcomes. On the model side, improvements in learning capacity help the system organize these diverse experiences and translate them into general capabilities that can be applied across different tasks. The goal is not simply to learn more examples, but to make better use of those experiences when encountering new situations.
Following pre-training, GO-3 Preview demonstrates task adaptation in both zero-shot and few-shot settings. In zero-shot scenarios, the model can apply previously learned capabilities to new tasks without requiring task-specific supervised fine-tuning on physical robots. This demonstrates its ability to transfer general skills to unfamiliar tasks and environments. For more complex operations, GO-3 Preview can further improve through few-shot learning, using a small number of demonstrations to adapt its capabilities.
LEGO assembly provides one example. The task requires a robot to identify individual components, grasp them precisely, align their positions and insert them correctly. With limited additional demonstrations and fine-tuning, the model can learn these precise manipulation skills, while an embodied agent coordinates the individual steps into a complete assembly process. Together, these examples demonstrate how pre-training can establish a general foundation that supports both direct task transfer and further adaptation.
Post-Training Scaling: Improving Through Physical and Virtual Interaction
General capabilities alone are not enough for robots to perform every complex task reliably. Just as people refine their skills through repeated practice, robots need opportunities to experiment, receive feedback and improve their action strategies. For GO-3 Preview’s post-training stage, AGIBOT developed Genie Evolver, a distributed hybrid-environment training system that combines a fleet of 100 physical robots with physics simulation and world models. By expanding the scale and diversity of interactions, Genie Evolver enables robots to learn from both physical execution and virtual exploration, continually refining their action policies through feedback. The system brings together three complementary learning environments.
Physical Robots: Learning from Collective Experience. In real-world environments, Genie Evolver uses CEL (Collective Experience Learning) to aggregate execution experience across multiple robots. Successful trajectories provide examples of effective actions, while the context surrounding failed attempts helps identify where improvements are needed. By retrieving relevant successful experiences and updating shared strategies, CEL allows lessons learned by individual robots to benefit the wider fleet. Rather than requiring each robot to learn everything independently, the system makes collective experience reusable.
Physics Simulation: Expanding the Range of Interactions. Physics simulation provides controlled environments in which robots can practice and be evaluated under different conditions. These environments expand the range of physical interactions and scenarios available for training, while allowing experiments to be repeated under consistent conditions. This makes it possible to explore alternative strategies and improve robustness across a broader range of situations.
World Models: Exploring Multiple Possible Futures. World models allow the system to learn more from each real-world experience by exploring alternative outcomes. Rather than treating an interaction as a single sequence of actions, Genie Evolver can revisit critical decision points, test different possible actions in a world model, and predict and compare their outcomes. Feedback from these explorations is then used to refine action strategies, which can subsequently be tested on physical robots.
Together, these environments create a continuous improvement process in which real-world execution, simulation and future-state exploration reinforce one another. AGIBOT demonstrates this approach through several manipulation tasks requiring precision, adaptation and rapid decision-making.
In tabletop curling, the robot must control both the force and angle of each shot. Too little force may fail to move an opponent’s stone, while excessive force can send the robot’s own stone outside the scoring area. Success depends on striking the right balance while accounting for the positions of the stones. According to AGIBOT, after just a few hours of practice combining real-world interaction and world-model learning, the robot achieved a higher win rate than typical human players.
Block extraction introduces a different challenge: each successful action changes the conditions for the next. When a red block is removed, the positions and orientations of the remaining blocks may shift. These changes can affect subsequent decisions, making it difficult to complete the task through a fixed sequence of movements. By drawing on accumulated experience, the robot can reassess the stack after each action, adjust its strategy and continue removing the target blocks until the task is complete.
Throwing a ball into a moving basket presents a more dynamic challenge. Unlike a stationary target, a moving basket gives the robot less time to observe, predict and react. The robot must rapidly identify the basket’s position while adjusting the force and angle of its throw in real time. Accurate predictions of fast-changing conditions are equally important, enabling the robot to coordinate its movements and release the ball at the right moment. Together, these demonstrations illustrate how GO-3 Preview can improve its manipulation capabilities through repeated interaction, feedback and strategy refinement.
Post-Deployment Scaling: Learning and Improving Through Real-World Work
Even with extensive pre-training and post-training, robots inevitably encounter situations they have never seen before once deployed in real-world environments. Traditionally, addressing such problems has often required human engineers to modify code, collect additional data or manually adjust the robot’s behavior. This limits how quickly capabilities can improve after deployment. AGIBOT’s approach is to extend learning into the deployment stage itself, allowing robots to improve while carrying out real tasks.
Through its embodied agent framework, Genie Master, AGIBOT connects planning, execution, feedback and experience retention to help robots adapt to new challenges and continuously develop their capabilities. Genie Master introduces EEP (Embodied Execution Protocol), which standardizes four categories of interfaces: capabilities, guidance, feedback and continuity. These interfaces allow an embodied agent to identify which robot capabilities are available, determine how tasks should be executed, assess whether the results meet the intended requirements and track work that remains unfinished. By connecting these functions, Genie Master helps robots coordinate task execution, identify failures, recover from exceptions and retain useful operational experience.
Crucially, this experience can contribute to future improvement through two complementary learning pathways. The first turns operational experience into long-term memory. During task planning and execution, the system records both successful and unsuccessful attempts, capturing lessons that can inform subsequent decisions. At the end of each day’s operations, the model consolidates reusable knowledge from these experiences into long-term memory. When similar tasks or situations arise, the agent can retrieve relevant past experiences to guide task planning, improve decisions and support recovery from failures. This allows lessons learned during one task to become useful knowledge for future operations.
The second pathway turns execution experience into improved action policies. As the agent assists with execution, takes over when necessary and supports recovery from failures, the system generates trajectories and feedback that capture problems, adjustments and outcomes. These records can be processed and used for further training of the robot’s action policies. Over time, effective adjustments can be incorporated into model parameters, turning practical experience into capabilities that can be reused in subsequent tasks. This creates a feedback loop in which deployment not only puts existing skills to work, but also generates new learning opportunities.
AGIBOT has demonstrated this approach using its Genie G2 robot in a real convenience store environment. Powered by Genie Master, the robot was able to identify the causes of task failures, adjust its strategies and accumulate experience while performing operational tasks. According to AGIBOT, the robot continued improving across multiple complex tasks requiring precise manipulation without relying on human demonstrations or manual tuning. The company describes the demonstration as an example of autonomous improvement without a human in the loop, in which the robot learns from its own operational experience rather than depending entirely on external intervention.
AGIBOT also describes this as a demonstration of Physical RSI (Recursive Self-Improvement in the Physical World) in a real business environment, extending the concept of self-improvement beyond simulation and laboratory settings. The significance of this approach lies in connecting real-world execution with continued learning. Instead of treating deployment as the final stage of model development, Genie Master makes operational experience a resource for ongoing improvement.
From GO-1 to GO-3: Extending Scaling Across the Full Learning Lifecycle
From the ViLLA framework introduced with GO-1 to the action chain-of-thought approach pioneered in GO-2, AGIBOT has continued expanding the capabilities of its embodied AI models. GO-3 Preview represents the next step in this development, extending scaling beyond pre-training to encompass post-training and learning after deployment. Its first-place rankings on RoboDojo, RoboTwin and RoboColiseum, together with demonstrations of task transfer, complex manipulation and real-world adaptation, highlight the potential of this full-lifecycle approach.
Rather than relying on improvements at a single stage, GO-3 Preview, Genie Evolver and Genie Master connect three essential processes: developing general capabilities through pre-training, refining action strategies through physical and virtual interaction, and turning real-world operational experience into continued learning. As data, feedback and experience form a continuous cycle, the system is designed to help robots expand their capabilities over time. For AGIBOT, full-lifecycle scaling represents a path from acquiring skills to applying, reusing and improving them — enabling robots to turn what they have learned into practical performance and every real-world task into an opportunity to become more capable.
