Meta says its new AI model is ready to compete on coding
After reentering the AI race with its first in-house Muse Spark model in April, Meta is now opening up the doors to developers with a new model that can plug into AI coding software with the new Meta Model API. Meta says that Muse Spark 1.1 is a "step-change" from the first generation, with improvements based on feedback from developers. The company says it's capable of more advanced coding, including detection and fixing of complex bugs; better supports end-to-end agentic workflows across a range of apps, including multi-agent systems; and has native multimodal perception across images, video
