Meta abandons open source for Muse Spark

Elon Musk Podcast

Meta has officially launched Muse Spark , a sophisticated multimodal AI model developed by the newly established Meta Superintelligence Labs . This release represents a significant strategic pivot, as the company has moved away from its traditional open-source approach to keep this high-performance model proprietary . Designed to achieve "personal superintelligence," the system features a novel Contemplating mode that uses multiple agents to solve complex problems in parallel. The model excels in specialized domains like health and medical reasoning , yet current benchmarks show it still trails competitors in advanced coding tasks. Muse Spark is currently being integrated across Meta’s major social platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook , as well as their smart glasses. This ground-up rebuild of Meta's AI stack emphasizes computational efficiency , matching the power of previous models while utilizing significantly less processing energy.
