Meta (META<\/a>) on Wednesday launched what it said is its most powerful AI model yet, a key piece of its broader AI rebuilding effort.<\/p>\n

The model, called Muse Spark, is the first from the company\u2019s Meta Superintelligence Lab (MSL), which CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled in June. Meta founded the lab in response to criticisms that its prior AI models didn\u2019t live up to expectations. Zuckerberg subsequently hired a host of AI heavyweights, including Scale.AI founder Alexandr Wang, and established MSL.<\/p>\n

Meta stock rose more than 9% in midday trading.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Wang said<\/a> Meta is currently using Muse Spark to power its Meta AI services and that the company is already working on larger models.<\/p>\n

In his own Facebook post<\/a>, Zuckerberg outlined the AI\u2019s new capabilities, saying, \u201cIt’s a world-class assistant and particularly strong in areas related to personal superintelligence like visual understanding, health, social content, shopping, games, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Meta, Muse Spark can task multiple subagents with different tasks to complete various requests. In one example, the company said you\u2019ll now be able to use Meta AI to do things like plan family trips.<\/p>\n

Meta said the agents will then draft an itinerary, compare different locations you\u2019re considering, and find potential activities, all at the same time.<\/p>\n

The AI can also recognize images and provide insights into what it sees. So, the company said, if you take a picture of snacks on the shelf at a shop in an airport, Meta AI will provide information about the items and can tell you which one has the most protein or calories.<\/p>\n

Crucially for Meta, Wang wrote on X, Muse Spark\u2019s contemplating mode is \u201ccompetitive [with] other extreme reasoning models such as Gemini Deep Think and GPT Pro.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an evaluation document<\/a> of the model, Muse Spark tops AI models from Anthropic (ANTH.PVT<\/a>), Google (GOOG<\/a>, GOOGL<\/a>), OpenAI (OPAI.PVT<\/a>), and xAI (SPAX.PVT<\/a>) in some categories, though it falls short in others.<\/p>\n

Unlike prior AI models, Meta isn\u2019t making Muse Spark open source, but the company said it hopes to make future versions of the model open.<\/p>\n

Meta, like its Big Tech peers, is pouring billions into its AI build-out. During its most recent quarter,<\/a> the company said it expects to spend between $115 billion and $135 billion in 2026, up from $72.22 billion in 2025.<\/p>\n

But the spending seems to be paying off. Meta\u2019s 2025 revenue topped out at $198.8 billion, up 22% versus the prior year, when the company brought in $162.4 billion. Analysts expect the social media giant to see 2026 revenue of $247.7 billion.<\/p>\n
