Current obstacles

  • Keeping talentMSL hired with huge pay packages, yet several star hires left within months.

Physics limits

  • Every word re-reads the modelTo write each token the chip must stream all active weights from memory. Memory bandwidth (about 8 TB/s on top GPUs), not arithmetic, caps speed and cost per token.
  • Returns shrink as a power lawError falls only as a small power of training compute: each fixed step of improvement needs roughly 10x more compute, energy and money than the one before.
  • Trained for likely text, not true textThe model learns to produce plausible words. Facts seen only once or twice in training can't be recalled reliably, so some rate of confident errors is built into the method.

Rebuilt

A new stack from scratch

Built by Meta Superintelligence Labs on a new training stack rather than on Llama, and kept closed: the weights are not released.

Modes

Instant or thinking

Users switch between a fast mode and a thinking mode that reasons longer. It also reads images, such as ranking products on a shelf photo.

Agents

Several helpers at once

Muse can split a task among parallel agents (one plans, one compares, one searches) and combine what they find.

Reach

Inside Meta's products

Muse powers Meta AI and the Muse agent, which connects to email, calendars and shops, and is coming to Meta's smart glasses.

About Meta

The team behind Muse models

Meta

Llama open models, Muse, AI data centers

Meta, owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, made open-weight AI mainstream with its Llama models from 2023. In 2025 it formed Meta Superintelligence Labs. In April 2026 it released Muse Spark, its first closed frontier model.

  • Llama was downloaded over a billion times, but Llama 4 (April 2025) was seen as behind the leaders.
  • Paid about $14.3B for 49% of Scale AI and hired its CEO Alexandr Wang to lead its new AI lab (June 2025).
  • Muse Spark (April 2026) is closed, a shift away from open weights.
