Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has released Muse Spark, the company’s first-ever artificial model from one of its highest-paid teams, Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). Mark Zuckerberg assembled its Superintelligence Labs team last year under Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang. In June 2025, Facebook founder Zuckerberg hired Wang as part of a $14 billion investment into Scale AI after a series of setbacks that reportedly left him frustrated that the company wasn’t keeping pace with competitors like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Zuckerberg has since spent billions on AI talent and committed tens of billions more on infrastructure like data centers to catch up. “Today we’re releasing muse spark, the first model from MSL. nine months ago we rebuilt our ai stack from scratch. new infrastructure, new architecture, new data pipelines. muse spark is the result of that work, and now it powers Meta AI,” said Wang in a social media post.
