Meta launches Muse Wonder AI models to rival industry leaders

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 18:19 · Archive

Meta has released two new AI models called Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, which it says rival leading models from competitors.

Meta has launched two new AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, as part of its effort to reestablish itself as a major force in artificial intelligence. The company claims the models can rival leading competitors including OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Fable 5.1, pointing to results from internal testing on industry benchmarks.

The new models are available for Muse Code subscribers, which is a tool for writing software with AI. Wonder can also be accessed through the Meta Model API. Meta says it eventually plans to power its Muse personal agent with Wonder, beginning with subscribers, though the company has not disclosed a timeline or specific details.

Meta reorganised its AI research last year by creating the Superintelligence Labs division and hiring Alexandr Wang, the former Scale AI CEO, to lead it. The company has released several AI models in recent months, including Muse Spark in April and a smaller open-weight model called Muse Glimmer. Meta says it plans to release larger open-weight models in the future.
