What changes
Meta unveiled Your Algorithm, a suite of AI-powered tools that makes Facebook's recommendation system directly steerable. People can now state in their own words what they want to see, and the system interprets those preferences and applies them to Feed and Reels ranking.
Interests on one page
The page has three parts: a one-sentence "Lately Summary" of recent viewing activity, followed by "Interested In" and "Not Interested In" lists. People can add interests, move them between lists, or remove them. Every change applies to both Feed and Reels at once.
LLMs split by task
Meta uses a collection of large language models (LLMs) to understand, store and track preferences. Rather than one giant model, the LLMs are tailored to specific tasks, so a newly added interest surfaces relevant content quickly while "not interested" marks hold reliably.
Why it matters
Traditional recommendation systems learn only from implicit engagement signals, which means slow adaptation and little nuance. Your Algorithm feeds explicitly stated preferences into ranking to close that gap. According to Meta, preferences live in a single store, so what appears on the page matches what ranking uses.
