Chatbot maker Character.ai has reportedly held exploratory talks with both Meta and Elon Musk’s xAI, discussing potential partnerships.

The firm has talked with both companies about working together to pre-train and develop AI models, the Financial Times (FT) reported Friday (May 24).

The discussions have centered on research, rather than an acquisition, and no deal has been struck, according to the report.
