Meta launches Muse Spark, the Alexandr Wang–led AI model
Meta unveiled Muse Spark, its first AI model developed under Alexandr Wang, aiming to narrow the gap with OpenAI and Anthropic. The model will power queries in the Meta AI app and Meta.ai, with plans to expand to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and accepts voice, text, and image inputs but outputs text. It includes modes like a fast query mode and a 'shopping mode' tied to user data; an open-source version is planned. While competitive on several tasks, it lags in areas like coding. All flavors are free but may be rate-limited, and Meta’s privacy policy indicates broad data use for AI features.
