Zuck's Muse to Spark Joy with Open Weights Release 'Soon'
The model uses 25% fewer tokens and adds stronger safety controls as Meta pushes to keep pace with rival AI systems.
Meta released its most powerful AI model, Muse Spark 1.3, with plans to roll out the update soon to users of Instagram, Facebook, and Meta AI.
Featuring 25 per cent fewer tokens, the new model improves efficiency while managing multiple workflows and enhances safety by seeking clarification before taking irreversible actions.
Wang described Muse Spark 1.3 as "competitive" with Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 and "better than" OpenAI's GPT-5 Sol in coding, though OpenAI will soon release Astra.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently emphasized making AI development more open and accessible, though the company must balance these goals against massive infrastructure investments.
Development remains on track for Meta's highly anticipated larger model dubbed Watermelon, which the AI chief believes will be extremely "competitive" upon release.
