Muse Spark: Scaling Towards Personal Superintelligence

moab•2h ago
"Muse Spark is available now, and Contemplating mode will be rolling out gradually in meta.ai."

How does one get their hands on these models? They are not open-source, right? I go to meta.ai, but it's just a chat interface---no equivalent to codex or claud code? Can you use this through OpenCode? Is meta charging for model access, or is the gathering of chat data a sufficiently large tithe?

monkeydust•2h ago
TBD it seems. So far the only explained usage pattern is through a Meta product (Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram).
moab•1h ago
So to verify their claims and see how strong these models are, the answer is "believe us"?

Note: I'm expressing some skepticism here largely due to how recent rollouts from Meta flopped. Sincerely hoping that they do better this time around!

nemomarx•1h ago
I assume the answer is try it out in the chat mode? You could run your usual benches through that right
pstuart•1h ago
I appreciate that they build this stuff for their own benefit, but I don't want to feed even more of my private info. Hopefully the models will become public or lead to equivalent models from other sources.
meetpateltech•1h ago
"It will be available in private preview via API to select partners, and we hope to open-source future versions of the model."

from Facebook Newsroom: https://about.fb.com/news/2026/04/introducing-muse-spark-met...

tempaccount420•1h ago
I can't think of any "select partners" that would want to use this non-SOTA model. Just put it on OpenRouter.
giancarlostoro•1h ago
If Microsoft is a select partner, maybe they could shove it into Copilot for VS or something, but yeah, I'm wondering the same, maybe Apple could be one of their partners too?
ddp26•1h ago
The second paragraph starts "Muse Spark is the first step on our scaling ladder and the first product of a ground-up overhaul of our AI efforts. To support further scaling, we are making strategic investments..."

This article is about Meta, not about the user. Who signs off on these? Is the intended audience other people at Meta, not the user?

tjkrusinski•1h ago
The article is published primarily to signal to the market that Meta is serious in its efforts to compete in building frontier ai models.

They want to 1) attract talent, 2) tell wall street they can play in this space as well, 3) help employees feel the company is moving in the right direction.

A frontier LLM doesn't apply to their core consumer products.

Stock up 9% today, very pleasant for Zuck if you do the math on his net worth :)
hungryhobbit•19m ago
I mean, kinda? It's not like Zuck is selling his stock tomorrow, so daily fluctuations in stock price don't really affect him.
daft_pink•1h ago
This really reinforces the idea that the AI race and the Railroad Mania of the 19th century are very similar.

So many different companies are going to have similarly powerful ai that there will be no moat around it and it will be cheap. They will never earn their investment back.

dist-epoch•1h ago
The moat is in the compute and the energy access.

And further down the line in chips, which is why Elon is building a fab now.

There are plenty of capable models on HuggingFace, yet I have no way of running them.

khalic•45m ago
Give it a few years, or month. Tiny models are getting outrageously good
mobattah•25m ago
Exactly. We’ll see the cost of AI continue to drop.

I was saying this for years about Tesla’s FSD - they finally had to give in and drop the price to stay competitive.

chankstein38•1h ago
Personal Superintelligence made me think this was an open-source model being released and I was excited. Then I continued reading and I'll just wait until the model comes out.

hackrmn•39m ago
I am simply offended. By Meta's lack of sensibilities (or ability) towards use of images on the Web while touting their new flavour of artificial intelligence as a product.
hungryhobbit•49m ago
Someday our robot overlords will be intelligent enough to ... optimize images!

(But today is not that day.)

zfol_510•16m ago
And it doesn't even look high-res.
Overpower0416•11m ago
lol it literally took me 2s to google search "optimize image for website" and 10s to upload and get a smaller sized image.

The result for that specific image is: 500kb. 85% decrease in size

nharada•20m ago
Saying nothing about the actual performance of this model, it does strike me how .... minimal(?) this announcement is. Their safety section is like 2 paragraphs about bioweapons. Go look at the reports for OpenAI and Anthropic's model releases. It's like 50+ pages of tests, examples, reports, and benchmarks across a bunch of safety and wellfare metrics.

If Meta wants to be seen as a cutting edge massive lab they need to come across as one instead of looking like a school project version of a frontier model.

khurdula•16m ago
"we hope to open-source future versions of the model."

Love to see it. Cheers!
