When Meta CEO

Mark Zuckerberg

rebooted his company’s artificial intelligence efforts last year, it seemed to be a

very expensive

gamble. Meta’s latest AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, seem to show that the bet is finally paying off by putting the company back at the frontier of AI development.

Muse Wonder Full boasts frontier capabilities, Meta says, meaning that it is among the most capable AI models in the world. “Together, they mark the next step on our scaling ladder and a major leap toward personal superintelligence,” the company said in

a blog post

today.

The Muse Wonder models will be available through an API and through Muse Code, a tool for writing software with AI. Meta says the best version of the model will power features across its platforms, including its

Zuckerberg overhauled his company’s AI research last year by

sinking billions

into the recently formed Meta Superintelligence Labs, and hiring the former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to lead it. This effort

has sometimes been rocky

, with some researchers not sticking around for long.

Meta was once a trailblazer in AI. Its

Llama series of models

were the first frontier open-weight offerings from a big lab. Llama, which could be downloaded and run on one’s own hardware, was widely adopted by researchers and startups.

But the company fell behind after delivering several disappointing versions of the model, and as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google rapidly introduced more capable models.

Meta announced the first model from its new lab,

Muse Spark

, in April of this year. The company has also released a small open-weight model
