Meta released a pair of new artificial intelligence models on Monday called Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, TechCrunch and MarketWatch reported. TechCrunch noted that the releases from Meta Superintelligence Lab represent the company's first attempt at a frontier model.

The new systems are larger and more capable than the earlier Muse Spark model, displaying higher benchmark scores and stronger results on complex tasks like coding, according to TechCrunch. CNBC Tech reported that Meta AI chief Alexandr Wang stated the company developed Muse Wonder, codenamed Watermelon, to improve personal and professional agents on real-world tasks. VentureBeat reported that while both models achieve frontier performance, only the weaker model is available through an application programming interface. [1][2][8]

Following the release of the model family, Meta's stock rose by more than 3 percent, MarketWatch reported. Analysts expect the launch of the new technology to drive fresh business opportunities for the company, according to MarketWatch. [3]
