Muse Spark

Meta has introduced a discounted 'Contributor' tier of its Muse Spark 1.2 reasoning model, priced at $0.10 per 1M input tokens and $0.20 per 1M output tokens. The lower cost comes with a tradeoff: prompts and outputs may be used to improve Meta's products.

Meta released a new Mac app for Meta AI with system-wide dictation and the ability to answer questions based on what's visible on screen, using its Muse Spark model. The launch also bundles business-focused features letting merchants connect Instagram, Facebook, ad accounts, and Google Workspace to the assistant.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the company will open-source its Muse Spark 1.2 model and launch a new on-device model family called Muse Glimmer. The move positions Meta against closed-model rivals OpenAI and Anthropic and against Chinese open-weight labs like DeepSeek and Alibaba.

Meta released Muse Spark 1.2, a coding-focused upgrade to Spark 1.1, alongside Muse Code, its first dedicated terminal coding agent. The cheapest pricing tier drops output tokens to $0.20 per million, but requires users to share their data for training.

Meta has launched an early beta of Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent powered by its new Muse Spark 1.2 model, aiming to compete with Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex on price. Standard pricing is $1.25 per 1M input tokens and $4.25 per 1M output tokens, with a discounted contributor tier at $0.10/$0.20 per 1M tokens.

Meta has released Muse Code, its first AI coding agent, built to work with the new Muse Spark 1.2 model. The beta tool undercuts rivals Anthropic and OpenAI on price rather than raw capability, according to Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang.

Meta is rolling out a productivity-focused update to its AI chatbot, adding calendar integration, daily briefings, and mid-response steering for research tasks. The update, powered by the new Muse Spark 1.1 model, marks a reversal from Meta's earlier strategy of prioritizing entertainment over productivity.

Meta publicly released Muse Spark 1.1, a multimodal AI model designed for agentic coding workflows. The model is priced at $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens, positioning it slightly above Anthropic's Claude Haiku 4.5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna.

Meta has released Muse Image, its first image generation model from Meta Superintelligence Labs. The model is now available in the Meta AI app and powers new creative features in Instagram Stories and WhatsApp direct chats, with over 30 AI-powered effects for Instagram Stories launching in limited countries.

Meta has added voice conversation capabilities and live camera analysis to its Meta AI app, both powered by the company's Muse Spark model. The features previously available only on Meta's AI glasses are now rolling out to the standalone app, which ranks fourth on the U.S. iPhone App Store.

Meta released Muse Spark in early April, its first closed-source AI model that will eventually offer paid developer access. According to Arena.AI rankings, Muse Spark trails Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini in text capabilities but beats OpenAI's GPT in vision tasks.

Meta has released Muse Spark, a proprietary AI model with restricted access via API and portal invite only—a striking reversal from CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 2024 manifesto championing open-source AI. The model claims performance matching top competitors from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, trained with an order of magnitude less compute than Llama 4.

Meta has released Muse Spark, the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, a unit assembled under chief AI officer Alexandr Wang following Meta's $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI. The natively multimodal model features a "Contemplating" reasoning mode with parallel sub-agents and marks Meta's break from its open-source Llama heritage by operating as closed source.
