   Machine summary Meta is planning to launch a standalone prediction market app called Arena, according to internal documents reviewed by NPR and two employees who were not authorized to speak publicly. The documents state users would receive a daily virtual allotment of play money rather than wagering real money, and that Meta's AI would generate and resolve markets.

   1. Meta is planning to launch a prediction market app to compete with Kalshi and Polymarket, according to internal documents reviewed by NPR.
   2. The documents state users would receive a daily virtual allotment of play money to bet on the outcome of future events, instead of wagering real money.
   3. The app, codenamed Antwerp and FBForecast, would use Meta's Llama model to generate questions from trending topics and make personalized market recommendations, and the AI would resolve markets in near real-time, according to the documents.
   4. In 2020, Meta launched Forecast, a crowdsourced app for prediction markets, and closed it after two years; the reason given in the documents was the operational expense of manually curating questions.
