Meta’s stock ended the day at $790 — its highest closing price in history. The stock has been on a tear following a series of excellent earnings reports, including the latest, in which the company said its continued investment in AI is paying off.
Meta’s AI video feed Vibes, which launched in late September as part of the Meta AI app, has 2 million daily active users, Business Insiders reports, citing internal data. That’s more than OpenAI’s Sora, which launched around the same time but only recently — and perhaps temporarily — became available to the public without an invite. It had about 673,000 daily active users in November, according to Similarweb.
Still, for Meta, 2 million isn’t much for a product that’s integrated with Facebook and Instagram. Threads, another app Meta users are pushed to from its larger properties, for example, recently surpassed 150 million daily active users. In its last earnings report, Meta said it had 3.5 billion daily users across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp.
We are starting to see the appification of ChatGPT.
Last month, OpenAI announced its refreshed vision for app integration within ChatGPT, announcing deals with Spotify, Zillow, and Figma to allow those companies’ customers to use the apps right within the chatbot.
Today, Intuit is joining the lineup, bringing its products into ChatGPT. TurboxTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp will come to ChatGPT as part of a $100 million multiyear partnership between Intuit and OpenAI.
Intuit will expand the use of OpenAI’s tools internally, while still using its own proprietary models.

Last month, we wrote that Amazon’s cloud service sneezed, and huge chunks of the internet came down with a pretty bad cold. While it’s not yet that bad, several major websites have been intermittently peaky this morning, and it looks like Cloudflare is the super-spreader.
Though much of America might have been asleep for some of the most frustrating periods of disruption this morning, thousands of users across the US and around the world have taken to Downdetector to report problems accessing some of the internet’s biggest platforms, including OpenAI, X, and popular battle arena game “League of Legends,” as Cloudflare has been acknowledging its issues and looking to fix them.
Cloudflare, an American IT behemoth that supplies tools to protect websites from cyberattacks and helps users connect and load content online, is down around 3% in early trading on Tuesday, as investors (at least those who can connect to their brokerages) react to the issues. Though the stock began to sink in premarket trading when the problems first came to light, the wider market mood is also likely weighing on Cloudflare, with the S&P 500 Index down more than 1% as of 10:08 a.m. ET.
