Meta Unveils ‘Muse Spark’ AI Model Built in 9 Months, Aims to Power Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook
Meta has released its new AI model, Muse Spark, and a new logo for Meta AI. Muse Spark is the first Large Language Model (LLM) created by Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), led by Alexandr Wang.
In 2025, Mark Zuckerberg invested billions of dollars to establish Meta Super Intelligence Labs (MSL). Having paid more than $14 billion for acquiring Scale AI, Meta requested Alexandr Wang to take charge of MSL. MSL has just unveiled its very first AI model, named Muse Spark. According to Meta, Muse Spark is its most sophisticated AI model to date.
According to Alexandr Wang, Muse Spark was built completely from scratch in just nine months. This new model will now power Meta AI on various platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. Muse Spark was likely the same model that MSL was testing under the codename Avocado.
Muse Spark belongs to Meta’s new Muse series of AI models that would replace their old Llama series of models. Spark is not the best model of Meta. The company stated in a blog post, "This initial model is small and fast by design, yet capable of understanding and solving complex problems in science, math, and health."
