Meta asserts that its new models are capable of competing with the industry's best, stating they will soon power its Muse agent.
Meta is working to reclaim its position in the AI race. Following the launch of Muse Spark, the first model from its revamped Superintelligence Labs division, and the buzzworthy AI agent Muse, the company has now introduced two new models that it claims can go toe-to-toe with the industry's top performers.
The new models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, are available to Muse Code subscribers starting today. Additionally, Wonder can be accessed through the Meta Model API, as Meta announced.
Meta plans to eventually power its Muse AI agent with Wonder, beginning with subscribers, and intends to develop specialized models that "can bring to everyone using Muse." The company has not shared specific details or a timeline for either of these initiatives.
The company reports that its new models can rival leading offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic, such as GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Fable 5.1. This claim is based on results from internal testing on several industry benchmarks. It remains unclear how they stack up against Google's Gemini 4 Argon, whose capabilities are still coming into focus.
The launches are part of Meta's aggressive strategy to reestablish itself as a major force in AI. The company has invested billions into talent and infrastructure and has been steadily expanding its AI lineup, including with the image model Muse Image and a heavy focus on bringing useful AI agents to the masses through Muse.
