Alexandr Wang posts “Muse wonders of the world” on X

Alexandr Wang thanked Meta Superintelligence Labs’ research teams after a week of launches, including Muse Wonder [full] and Muse Spark open.

Meta Superintelligence Labs released Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, its second-generation model family for personal and professional agentic work.

Meta released Muse Wonder and the more capable Wonder Full AI model, which the company says performed near Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra on several capability tests, and slightly better on some agent and knowledge-work benchmarks. Meta highlighted Active Memory, which retains relevant background across conversations, and Active Focus, which keeps working toward complex goals and adapts when new information or obstacles arise.
