Meta built an adaptive ranking system that routes ad-serving requests to different model sizes based on context and intent, solving the 'inference trilemma' of balancing model quality, latency, and cost. The approach replaces one-size-fits-all inference with dynamic complexity allocation, letting Meta run LLM-scale recommendation models while maintaining sub-second latency across billions of requests.

LangChain and MongoDB integrate to run AI agents directly on MongoDB Atlas, eliminating the need for separate vector databases, state stores, and analytics systems. The partnership adds vector search, persistent memory, natural-language querying, and full observability to Atlas—letting teams move from prototype to production without rearchitecting their data layer.
