Meta Launches Muse Wonder AI Models to Play Catch-Up With Rivals

Meta released new AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, enhancing its Muse AI agent with memory and focus capabilities. The models aim to excel in tasks like finance and law, with safety features to prevent misuse. Meta launched Muse in September, and Citi estimates it could generate over $27B by 2030, central to Meta's AI strategy.

Meta introduced Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, its most advanced AI models for personal and professional tasks. The models feature Active Memory and Active Focus, enabling context retention and goal persistence. Trained at Meta's Prometheus data center, they excel in domains like law, finance, and coding. Meta claims state-of-the-art performance on key benchmarks and strong safety measures.

Meta launched Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full AI models, aiming to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic. Shares rose 4% in afternoon trading. The models will power Meta's AI services, with plans to monetize through subscriptions. Meta has invested heavily in AI over the past year, according to the company.

Meta's valuation is 13.55% below its GF Value estimate of $864.88, indicating potential upside if the estimate holds.

The model is available through the Meta Model API and Muse Code, and will power the paid tier of the Muse agent.
