Meta debuts new AI model, attempting to catch Google, OpenAI after spending billions

▤ Summary

Meta debuted Muse Spark, the first model in its new Muse series from Meta Superintelligence Labs, as it aims to compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The company rebuilt its AI stack under Alexandr Wang and designed Muse Spark to be small, fast, and efficient while delivering competitive multimodal perception, reasoning, health, and agentic task performance. Meta will roll the model into the Meta AI app, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Ray-Ban glasses, and a private API preview with plans for paid API access later. The model is currently proprietary with potential future open-sourcing, and Meta is sharply increasing AI infrastructure spending to scale development and deployment.
