US EditionMeta unveils Muse Spark, its first AI model from superintelligence team
The proprietary model is designed for multimodal reasoning, multi-agent tasks and health use cases, with Meta citing collaboration with over 1,000 physicians.
- On Wednesday, Meta announced Muse Spark, the first model from its new Muse series developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs, which Alexandr Wang oversees. The debut positions Meta to compete with OpenAI and Google.
- Meta pivoted to this proprietary approach after earlier open-source Llama models failed to gain developer traction last April. The shift follows a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI and Wang's hiring nine months ago.

- While Muse Spark remains proprietary, Meta stated there is "hope to open-source future versions of the model." The company is already developing the next generation, competing with Anthropic and Microsoft in the AI sector.
