Meta's New AI Models Could Power Your Next Digital Assistant
Meta's latest AI models promise to match the best, potentially making your digital helper smarter.
Meta released two new AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, that it says can go toe-to-toe with the industry's best. They're available for Muse Code subscribers starting today, and Wonder can also be accessed through the Meta Model API.
Meta says it eventually plans to power its Muse AI agent with Wonder, starting with subscribers, and will develop specialized models it "can bring to everyone using Muse" — though it hasn't shared specifics or a timeline for either. The company says its new models can rival leading models from OpenAI and Anthropic, including GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Fable 5.1, pointing to results from internal testing on several industry benchmarks.
It's unclear how they stack up against Google's Gemini 4 Argon. The launches are part of Meta's aggressive push to reestablish itself as a major force in AI, after pouring billions into talent and infrastructure.
- Meta's new AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, are now available for Muse Code subscribers and will soon power the Muse AI agent.
- Meta claims these models rival top models from OpenAI and Anthropic, but independent comparisons are not yet available.
- This could lead to more advanced and affordable AI assistants for everyday use, though a wider release date is unknown.
