What is Meta's Muse Spark AI model?

Muse Spark is Meta's new closed-source, multimodal AI—text, images, audio, video—with top-tier reasoning, coding, and health advice capabilities, available now on meta.ai.

Is Muse Spark better than GPT-5 or Claude?

Early benchmarks put it top-five, beating some rivals per Artificial Analysis, but real-world agent performance is the true test—no GPT-5 direct match yet.

Will Meta open source Muse Spark?

Not this one; future versions might, per Zuckerberg, shifting from their prior Llama open model strategy.
