Meta has launched Muse Spark, a new reasoning model that it says is competitive on multimodal, health, and agentic tasks without claiming a clean state-of-the-art win. According to Meta and Axios, the model is already live in Meta AI and meta.ai, is headed for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, accepts voice, text, and image inputs, and comes with a private API preview for selected users. Meta is also pitching “Contemplating mode,” where multiple agents reason in parallel, while leaving a crucial detail unresolved: future versions may be open-sourced, but this release is not.
