Meta Acquires Moltbook Team For Agent Development

Meta is acquiring Moltbook and bringing its team into Meta Superintelligence Labs, the company confirmed March 10, 2026. Moltbook, a Reddit-like platform for autonomous agents built on open-source OpenClaw, went viral earlier this year and previously exposed API keys via a now-fixed security flaw. Meta says the move aims to explore agentic experiences, though an internal memo signaled the arrangement is temporary.
