Muse Spark: Scaling towards personal superintelligence

moab

"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?

Hoping the benchmarks are correct this time...

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?

> Muse Spark is available today at meta.ai and the Meta AI app. We’re opening a private API preview to select users.

I'm cautiously waiting for the feedback from the first users. Meta has produced a lot of great models (LLama), maybe this is a comeback... but I'm cautious, as the jump in the quality is almost too high. Also, I think people aren't used that using such models requires meta.ai or meta ai app.

Oh good, if they built a lab, I’m sure they took the time the precisely define what they mean by super intelligence? Right? …

This would have been an amazing release 6 months ago. But the industry moves so fast, this is a trite release. Maybe it’s best for Meta to sell their superintelligence division. I don’t think Zuck’s vision is particularly compelling.

So Meta is not releasing open source models anymore?

Will experiment with the model. But I am scared of sharing any information with the Zuck ecosystem.

Question: since they've rebooted their approach to AI... have they given up on open models? There's no mention of open source or open weights or access to the models beyond their hosted services.

The only benchmark they show against SOTA models is in bioweapons refusal. Edit: nvm I can't read, regular benchmarks against SOTA are there

This looks like a very interesting model and very promising, especially after llama lost so much ground recently. I hope they release the weights

https://meta.ai/ this is where you can try it seems like the API is not publicly accessable yet. I feel they are very late to the game and do not show value to customers over other models.

How is that Meta spent so much money for talent and hardware, but the model barely matches Opus 4.6? Especially, looking at these numbers after Claude Mythos, feels like either Anthropic has some secret sauce, or everyone else is dumber compared to the talent Anthropic has

Until you actually try the model itself, assume any benchmark presented to you as being part of the marketing material of the model, as it is not independently verified and completely biased. The same is true with any other model, unless otherwise stated. In the next few days, we'll see who Meta has paid to promote this model on social media.

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.

Ran some of my internal benchmarks against this and I'm very unimpressed. I don't think this moves them into the OAI v Anthropic v Gemini conversation at all. Major analytical errors in their response to multiple of my technical questions.

so glad its beating all the others on bioweapons refusal. this is what i most wanted out of the latest SOTA model

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.

So does this confirm the end of llama?
