The hero image on the linked page, which consists of a muted teal background with the words "Introducing Muse Spark", weighs in at 3,5MB. I don't even...

"Muse Spark is available now, and Contemplating mode will be rolling out gradually in meta.ai."
How does one get their hands on these models? They are not open-source, right? I go to meta.ai, but it's just a chat interface---no equivalent to codex or claud code? Can you use this through OpenCode? Is meta charging for model access, or is the gathering of chat data a sufficiently large tithe?

"It will be available in private preview via API to select partners, and we hope to open-source future versions of the model."
I can't think of any "select partners" that would want to use this non-SOTA model. Just put it on OpenRouter.

If Microsoft is a select partner, maybe they could shove it into Copilot for VS or something, but yeah, I'm wondering the same, maybe Apple could be one of their partners too?

TBD it seems. So far the only explained usage pattern is through a Meta product (Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram).

So to verify their claims and see how strong these models are, the answer is "believe us"?
Note: I'm expressing some skepticism here largely due to how recent rollouts from Meta flopped. Sincerely hoping that they do better this time around!

I assume the answer is try it out in the chat mode? You could run your usual benches through that right

I appreciate that they build this stuff for their own benefit, but I don't want to feed even more of my private info. Hopefully the models will become public or lead to equivalent models from other sources.

The second paragraph starts "Muse Spark is the first step on our scaling ladder and the first product of a ground-up overhaul of our AI efforts. To support further scaling, we are making strategic investments..."
This article is about Meta, not about the user. Who signs off on these? Is the intended audience other people at Meta, not the user?

The article is published primarily to signal to the market that Meta is serious in its efforts to compete in building frontier ai models.
They want to 1) attract talent, 2) tell wall street they can play in this space as well, 3) help employees feel the company is moving in the right direction.
A frontier LLM doesn't apply to their core consumer products.

Stock up 9% today, very pleasant for Zuck if you do the math on his net worth :)

This really reinforces the idea that the AI race and the Railroad Mania of the 19th century are very similar.
So many different companies are going to have similarly powerful ai that there will be no moat around it and it will be cheap. They will never earn their investment back.

The moat is in the compute and the energy access.
And further down the line in chips, which is why Elon is building a fab now.
There are plenty of capable models on HuggingFace, yet I have no way of running them.

Personal Superintelligence made me think this was an open-source model being released and I was excited. Then I continued reading and I'll just wait until the model comes out.
