AI overview

Meta's Superintelligence Lab released two multimodal models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, calling them the company's first frontier models. According to tests published in Meta's model card, the two models are comparable in benchmark scores to Anthropic's Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra; Zuckerberg said Meta has reached the AI frontier and rejected calls to slow down AI development. Muse Wonder has moved to closed source, with the strongest version sold directly to enterprises, and users of the Muse personal agent app need to pay $20 or $100 per month to use the model. The model supports a 1M token context. Under the Meta Superintelligence Scaling Framework, the unmitigated model cannot rule out reaching the high-risk threshold in the chemistry and biology domains, so safety post-training and system-level classifiers were added; cybersecurity and loss of control are medium or lower both before and after mitigation.

    Meta releases its first frontier model, Muse Wonder

    Meta's Superintelligence Lab released two new models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, calling them the company's first frontier models. According to tests published by Meta in the model card, the two models are comparable in benchmark scores to Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra. When accessed via the Meta Model API, Wonder costs $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, roughly comparable in cost to GPT-6 Sol or Opus 5.5; Wonder Full is only available to Muse Code subscribers and is not available via API. Both models will also power the Muse agent, with Meta emphasizing its "proactive memory" capability, claiming that Muse Wonder scores higher than Fable, Opus, and Astra on MemoryBench.

    Meta releases Muse Wonder AI model, tests users' willingness to pay

    Meta released the AI model Muse Wonder. Users of the Muse personal agent app need to pay $20 or $100 per month to use the model. Meta said the model provides the strongest guardrails to date against online abuse and is only available with the paid model. Meta AI head Alexandr Wang said it was trained to try other methods when encountering obstacles. Some users complained that Muse accessed personal messages without authorization; Meta denied this.

    Muse Wonder brings Meta back to the AI frontier

    Meta released two new models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, saying they bring the company back to the AI frontier. Muse Wonder Full has frontier capabilities and will be offered through the API and Muse Code, with the largest version also powering features across Meta's platforms. Meta says the largest version surpasses Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, is slightly below Claude Opus 5.5, and exceeds OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on specialized benchmarks such as legal document processing and software development. The models add two features, Active Memory and Active Focus, used to keep agents locked onto established goals and reduce behavioral drift.

    Zuckerberg says Meta has reached the AI frontier

    Meta released a new model, Muse Wonder, and Zuckerberg said Meta has reached the AI frontier and rejected calls to slow down AI development. Meta said the model outperforms Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, Fable 5.1, and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on some technical benchmarks, and can handle complex tasks such as understanding leases, interpreting financial or health information. Muse Wonder has moved to closed source, with the strongest version sold directly to enterprises; basic usage costs as little as 20 cents per million tokens, and Muse Wonder Full costs $200 per month. Zuckerberg said the next step is already in development, believes AI can be built responsibly with conventional guardrails, and that safety responsibility should rest with each lab. The Muse app is currently the most downloaded app on Apple's and Android's app stores in the US; a small number of users have accused Muse of accessing or sharing private information without permission.

    Meta releases Muse Wonder model card

    Meta released model cards for Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, disclosing evaluation results and risk ratings for these two multimodal models. The models support a 1M token context and are aimed at personal and professional agent tasks. Under the Meta Superintelligence Scaling Framework, the unmitigated model cannot rule out reaching the high-risk threshold in the chemistry and biology domains, so safety post-training and system-level classifiers were added; cybersecurity and loss of control are medium or lower both before and after mitigation. In the CBRN capability evaluation, SecureBio MBCT was 59.6%, HPCT 66.5%, VCT 55.9%, with an average of 60.7%; BioTIER refusal rate was 98.7% in both English and multilingual settings; MASK was 87.3%, and Agentic Misalignment was 0%. In ExploitGym, 92 flags were captured, but after review only 21 used the intended vulnerability.
