| Muse Spark frontier reasoning for consumers, not yet for builders | 7.3 | GA | 2026-04-07 | — / — | 262K | Review → |
Muse Spark is the model that ended the Llama era: Meta Superintelligence Labs' first frontier release (2026-04-08) is proprietary, closed-weights, and consumer-first — free to billions on meta.ai, the Meta AI app, and (since June 23) Ray-Ban Meta glasses, with the API stuck in private preview and no rate card. A natively multimodal reasoning model with visual chain of thought and a parallel-multi-agent "Contemplating" mode that scores 58% on Humanity's Last Exam, it reportedly reaches Llama 4 Maverick parity with over an order of magnitude less compute. Catalog it for what it signals as much as what it scores: Meta now competes at the frontier on its own terms, and builders are not invited yet.
