Meta just launched Muse, a personal AI agent that can handle real-world tasks like booking travel, negotiating bills, and making purchases on your behalf. Powered by the new Muse Spark model, it works inside WhatsApp and dedicated apps while running on isolated cloud virtual machines to safeguard personal credentials. It is rolling out to US users on iOS, Android, and the web, with most core features completely free.
Meta just launched Muse Voice Transcribe, its first real-time audio perception model from the Muse Spark family. Processing audio in 80ms chunks, it uses reinforcement learning to dynamically balance latency and accuracy while tracking over 20 distinct speakers. It natively supports hour-plus audio and is already live across Meta AI, Muse Code, and the Meta Model API.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri just said the platform won't filter out AI posts, arguing it should label generated content instead of banning it entirely. He believes users who dislike AI should be able to opt out, while acknowledging detection is getting so tough that labeling real-world camera captures may soon be more practical.
Meta just rolled out Muse Image, its first image generation model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, natively inside Meta AI. The model lets users turn prompts into graphics, cleanly edit specific areas by circling them directly on the canvas, and redesign living spaces with real web products. It's free for everyday use, though an @-mention referencing feature was quietly scrapped following user backlash.
Meta is building a dedicated cloud business called Meta Compute to sell excess AI capacity and model hosting to outside clients, directly challenging AWS, Azure, and CoreWeave. The roadmap includes raw compute rentals alongside Bedrock-style access to its Muse Spark models. Meta stock jumped 9.3% following the report.
Meta just partnered with EssilorLuxottica to launch Meta Glasses, a sleek new $299 smart eyewear lineup. Powered on day one by Meta's new Muse Spark multimodal model, the glasses deliver hands-free photo and video capture, 8-hour battery life, and live translation across 14 languages. Meta is betting that high fashion is the fastest way to put ambient AI right in front of your eyes.
Meta just rolled out a suite of AI features on Facebook, led by an "AI Mode" search tab that pulls answers directly from public Groups and Reels instead of generic web links. The update also adds automated video collage templates and photo presets that let users virtually swap clothing and hairstyles on Stories and profile pictures.
Meta just published an updated Advanced AI Scaling Framework alongside the safety report for its Muse Spark model, introducing new risk evaluations for loss of control, cybersecurity, and bioweapons. Instead of relying on hardcoded refusals, Meta is now training models to understand the reasoning behind safety rules, confirming Muse Spark lacks the autonomy to pose runaway risks.
Meta just unveiled Muse Spark, its first native multimodal reasoning model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, featuring a new Contemplating mode that orchestrates parallel agents to rival Gemini Deep Think and GPT Pro. It scored 58% on Humanity's Last Exam and integrates health reasoning trained with 1,000 physicians. It is now live on meta.ai, with private API previews underway.
Meta just rolled out AI Studio in the US, allowing anyone to build and discover custom AI characters powered by Llama 3.1. Creators can set up AI extensions of themselves to answer common questions and engage with followers. However, Meta later noted it has halted new character creation as it shifts focus to Muse Spark.
