Meta launched Muse for Small Business on Tuesday, pitching the AI agent at the 200 million small business owners it says use its platforms. How much cash it brings in depends on how many owners pay for higher limits and how much ad spend comes from the campaigns it drafts.

Meta treats its AI data centers as research "pilot models" to claim federal tax credits, the New York Times reported, in a year its credits totaled $3.912 billion. Meta has not said how much of that came from the data centers, and tax practitioners doubt that whole facilities of chips can pass the IRS test for research supplies.
