Meta announced its first major model since CEO Mark Zuckerberg rebooted the company’s AI efforts last year under a new division called Meta Intelligence Labs. The model, called Muse Spark, is a step toward Zuckerberg’s vision of “personal superintelligence,” the company says, and for now, it will remain closed source.
Zuckerberg said in a post on social media that Meta’s goal is to create AI products that “don’t just 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 is certainly 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 offers Muse Spark through meta.ai and the Meta AI app. Unlike Llama, Muse Spark is not being released for others to download, although the company says it hopes to open-source future versions.
Meta’s self-reported benchmark scores for Muse Spark suggest the model is better at some tasks than the latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI. Artificial Analysis, an AI benchmarking company that got early access to Muse Spark, said the new model is one of the best it has tested, scoring 52 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, placing it within the top 5 models benchmarked.
Meta says that it built Muse Spark to be especially good at providing medical advice, collaborating with over 1,000 physicians to curate training data that enables more factual and comprehensive responses.
