Meta says its new AI model is ready to compete on coding
Key Points:
- Meta has released Muse Spark 1.1, an improved AI coding model that supports advanced bug detection, end-to-end workflows, and multimodal perception across images, videos, and documents.
- The new model is accessible via the Meta AI app, website, and a new Meta Model API, which is now in public preview for US developers with $20 of free credits included.
- Muse Spark 1.1 builds on Meta's earlier Muse Spark and follows the recent launch of Muse Image, an image generation model that has sparked controversy over its use of Instagram content.
- This release is part of Meta's broader strategy to compete in the AI space alongside companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, following significant investments, hires, and company restructuring.
- Muse Spark 1.1 will eventually power AI features in Meta's platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta's smart glasses.
