Meta just released its first major AI model since Mark Zuckerberg spent billions rebuilding the company’s artificial intelligence efforts. The new model, called Muse Spark, is now running Meta’s AI app and website in the US.
This marks Meta’s biggest push yet to compete with ChatGPT and other AI assistants that have captured public attention. After pouring massive resources into AI development, Meta is finally ready to show what all that spending produced.

Muse Spark won’t stay locked away in Meta’s standalone AI app for long. The company plans to integrate it into WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger over the coming weeks. That means billions of people will soon have access to Meta’s latest AI technology right inside the apps they already use daily.
The timing isn’t coincidental. Meta has been playing catch-up in the AI race while competitors like OpenAI and Google grabbed headlines with their chatbots. Zuckerberg’s company needed a strong response to prove it could build AI that people actually want to use.
Meta’s approach is different from rivals who focus on standalone AI apps. Instead of making people download something new, they’re putting AI directly into platforms where users spend hours each day. If Muse Spark works well, Meta could have a major advantage simply because their AI will be everywhere their users already are.
