Meta’s Superintelligence Lab released a pair of new state-of-the-art models on Monday, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, representing the company’s first attempt at a frontier model.
What happened
Meta’s Superintelligence Lab released Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full on Monday, larger models described as more capable than Muse Spark. Meta reports benchmark scores comparable to Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra and emphasizes information retention through “active memory.” Wonder costs $4.00 per million input tokens and $20.00 per million output tokens through the Meta Model API; Wonder Full is available only to Muse Code subscribers. Both models will power the Muse agent.
Why it matters
The split between API access for Wonder and subscriber access for Wonder Full gives developers a concrete basis for comparing integration options within Meta’s new model lineup.

The story so far
Meta released Muse Wonder through the Meta Model API and Muse Code and Muse Wonder Full for Muse Code subscribers, while Alexandr Wang said the team was addressing a bug in how both models counted against subscribers’ usage limits. Wang promised resets once the bug was fixed; his subsequent update said issues remained. TechCrunch reports that Wonder’s API pricing is $4.00 per million input tokens and $20.00 per million output tokens. Artificial Analysis reports that Wonder and Wonder Full scored 52 and 56 on its Intelligence Index v4.3 at maximum reasoning effort, compared with 48 for Muse Spark 1.3 at the same setting. Full improved across all ten evaluations, with its largest gains in agentic evaluations. Both models support a one-million-token context window. Meta says its internal benchmarks show performance competitive with GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Fable 5.1, while The Decoder reports weaker factual knowledge than leading competitors despite stronger coding and agent results. Statements about access through Meta’s personal agent, Muse, differ: Meta’s announcement says Wonder will power it soon, starting with subscribers, while Baoyu reports that Zuckerberg said subscribers could use it at launch. In his latest comments, Wang acknowledged there was still much to improve in response to a Wonder Full review that praised its writing and orchestration but criticized pricing and usage limits.
