- Metaverse is one of Facebook's ambitious projects. However, the project, which has spent more than US$60 billion or Rp. 998 trillion since 2020, is now abandoned. 

The company, which is now under the Meta umbrella, actually has a big vision for its project. Metaverse created from virtual worlds is created to connect each other and expand the market for devices. 

However, the latest report states that Meta will cut the project's budget. The amount reaches 30% for the 2026 budget plan, said a Bloomberg News report, quoted by Reuters, Wednesday (10/12/2025). 

The same report revealed budget cuts likely include layoffs. It is possible that employee cuts will be made as early as January 2026

Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this matter. 

Meta's metaverse project is housed in Reality Labs. For information, this unit also produces Quest mixed-reality headsets, Ray-Ban and augmented-reality glasses in the future. 

Reuters wrote that the report on metaverse budget cuts comes as Meta seeks to remain relevant in the AI ​​competition. It is known that the company's Llama 4 model was also not well received. 

Meta has set capital expenditure of US$72 billion (Rp. 1,198 trillion) this year. In total, it is estimated that the owner of Instagram will spend US$400 billion (Rp. 6,600 trillion) on AI throughout 2025. 

Specifically for AI projects, Meta places them in Superintelligence Labs. Mark Zuckerberg, the boss of the technology giant, is directly involved in the project and leads the acquisition of talent to enter his company. 

It is reported that Zuckerberg directly offered the talents he was targeting, including to a number of startups. He offered a million dollar salary package to get the desired people interested in joining Meta.

Proyek Gagal Total Sudah Habis Rp 1.000 Triliun, Begini Nasibnya

- Metaverse menjadi salah satu proyek ambisius dari Facebook. Namun proyek yang menghabiskan lebih dari US$60 miliar atau Rp 998 triliun sejak 2020 itu kini terbengkalai.

Perusahaan yang kini ada di bawah payung Meta, sebenarnya punya visi besar soal proyeknya tersebut. Metaverse yang diciptakan dari dunia virtual dibuat untuk menghubungkan satu sama lain dan memperluas pasar perangkatnya.

Namun laporan terbaru menyebutkan Meta akan memangkas anggaran proyek tersebut. Besarannya mencapai 30% untuk rencana anggaran 2026, ungkap laporan Bloomberg News, dikutip dari Reuters, Rabu (10/12/2025).

Laporan yang sama mengungkapkan pemotongan anggaran kemungkinan mencakup PHK. Kemungkinan pemangkasan karyawan akan dilakukan paling cepat Januari 2026 mendatang

Meta tak segera menanggapi permintaan untuk berkomentar soal hal ini.

Proyek metaverse milik Meta berada dalam Reality Labs. Sebagai informasi, unit tersebut juga memproduksi headset mixed-reality Quest, Ray-Ban dan kacamatan augmented-reality di masa depan.

Reuters menuliskan laporan pemangkasan anggaran metaverse muncul saat Meta berupaya untuk tetap relevan dalam persaingan AI. Model Llama 4 buatan perusahaan diketahui juga tak disambut dengan baik.

Meta telah menetapkan belanja modal sebesar US$72 miliar (Rp 1.198 triliun) tahun ini. Secara total diperkirakan US$400 miliar (Rp 6.600 triliun) dikeluarkan pemilik Instagram itu untuk AI sepanjang 2025.

Khusus untuk proyek AI, Meta menempatkannya dalam Superintelligence Labs. Mark Zuckerberg, bos raksasa teknologi, terjun langsung dalam proyek dan memimpin akuisisi talenta untuk masuk ke perusahaannya.

Kabarnya Zuckerberg menawarkan langsung talenta-talenta yang dibidiknya, termasuk kepada sejumlah startup. Dia memberikan tawaran paket gaji jutaan dolar agar orang yang diinginkan tertarik bergabung ke Meta.
