Meta Catches Up to OpenAI and Anthropic, Unveils New AI Model 'Muse Wonder'

Meta has unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) model evaluated to be on par with leading AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic.

Meta announced on the 12th, local time, that it is launching its top-tier AI model series, "Muse Wonder" and "Muse Wonder Full."

Meta introduced that these models, developed by its Meta Superintelligence Lab (MSL) using its proprietary gigawatt-scale data center computing infrastructure "Prometheus," stand shoulder-to-shoulder with industry-leading models in agent capabilities to perform practical tasks in specialized fields such as software coding, law, finance, and healthcare.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced, "If Muse Spark was our first model family, the much larger and more advanced Muse Wonder has brought us to the cutting edge."

Alexander Wang, Chief AI Officer (CAIO) overseeing Meta's AI business, also told Bloomberg, "These models are truly state-of-the-art," adding, "We are confident that they are fully competitive with the best models currently on the market," hinting that the product is capable of competing with OpenAI and Anthropic.

In fact, AI model evaluation firm Artificial Analysis also assigned "Muse Wonder" an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (AAII) score of 52, placing it in a tie for 7th alongside Anthropic's Claude 5.1 Faible, OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, and Google's Gemini 4 Argon (53 points each).

The "Muse Wonder Full" model received an AAII score of 56, tying for 2nd place right behind the current leading model, Claude 5.5 Opus (58 points).

Muse Wonder is particularly characterized by its "Active Memory" feature, which focuses on agent operation and remembers conversation history, user preferences, and habits.

It also applies an "Active Focus" feature that enables the AI to complete tasks by trying alternative approaches on its own even if errors occur while carrying out complex and ambiguous tasks.

Accordingly, Meta plans to apply Muse Wonder to its AI agent app "Muse" as well.

Meta explained that it has also enhanced safety measures, such as preventing personal data leaks and strengthening defenses against cyberattacks.

These new AI models will be available starting today through developer application programming interfaces (APIs) and coding tools.

However, Muse Wonder Full will be provided exclusively to paid subscribers.

Bolstered by this announcement, Meta's stock closed the regular trading session up 3.38% from the previous trading day's close at $742.96.
