Three months after unveiling its first artificial intelligence model under the leadership of AI chief Alexandr Wang, Meta
is rolling out a major update as it attempts to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic in critical areas of the market. Muse Spark 1.1, which Meta introduced on Thursday, represents its “strongest model for agentic and coding work yet,” Wang said in an interview with CNBC. The initial Muse Spark model released in April was only available to “select partners” who could access the technology via a “private API preview.” Meta is making the new model’s API available through a developer portal as part of a public preview, where users will be able to sign up and see instructions for integration. A Meta spokesperson said some early partners can already access the API, and new users “will be able to add themselves to a waitlist and be added from there over time.” For now, Meta said it’s limiting API access to its own properties rather than making it available on third-party platforms like the popular OpenRouter marketplace.
