Summary
Zuckerberg said in a social media post that Meta’s goal is to build AI products that “don't answer your questions but act as agents that do things for you.” The billionaire added that he is “optimistic that this will support a wave of creativity, entrepreneurship, growth, and health.” Muse Spark certainly appears to be a major upgrade over Meta’s last big release, Llama 4, which came out in April 2025 and was viewed in the tech industry as a disappointment with middling performance. Meta is making Muse Spark available via meta.ai and through the Meta AI app. “Looking ahead, we plan to release increasingly advanced models that push the frontier of intelligence and capabilities, including new open source models,” Zuckerberg wrote.
