Meta debuts Muse Spark 1.1 model with preview open to developers
Meta has released a developer preview of its Muse Spark 1.1 AI model, positioning it as a competitor to OpenAI and Anthropic. The model is designed for complex coding and agentic tasks, with Meta introducing a pay-as-you-go API pricing structure.
Why it matters
This move intensifies the competition in the AI developer tools market and highlights Meta's strategy to monetize its superintelligence research.
Meta Platforms on Thursday released long-awaited developer access to its Muse Spark AI alongside an upgraded version, pitting it directly against the business models of Anthropic and OpenAI in charging for use of its AI model.
The social media giant touted Muse Spark 1.1 as its most capable model for real-world coding and agentic tasks, part of a broader mission the company is pitching of delivering “personal superintelligence.”
Meta said the upgraded model can write and debug code, use software and external tools, understand text, images and video, and carry out complex multi-step tasks with less human intervention.
In April, Meta debuted Muse Spark, the first text and reasoning AI model from the superintelligence team it assembled last year to close the gap with rivals in the heated competition for AI supremacy.
