Meta Launches Paid 'Muse Wonder' Model, Defying AI Slowdown Calls
Meta has released its new 'Muse Wonder' AI model, claiming it matches or exceeds the performance of rivals from OpenAI and Anthropic on key benchmarks. The company is shifting from open-source models to a paid subscription model, with tiers ranging from 20 cents per million tokens to $200 per month. CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that Meta has reached the 'frontier' of AI development and rejected calls for an industry-wide slowdown, arguing that safety should be managed through individual lab guardrails rather than a global pause.
