Meta says it’s up to the mark with its latest Wonder AI models

After spending more than a year and tens of billions of dollars rebuilding its AI efforts, Meta says it has caught up. The company introduced its two latest AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, both of which represent “a major step toward personal superintelligence.”

According to Meta, the models are particularly adept at navigating legal, financial, and health-related tasks, and are capable of delivering “borderline coding performance.” Both models also add “active memory” and “active concentration,” which Meta says will help people accomplish more over long periods of time.

This is notable because Meta says she plans to bring Wonder to her personal agent Muse, starting with paid subscribers. Active memory, according to the company, is “the ability to convey what matters to you through conversations and bring back details relevant to the task at hand,” while active focus will allow an agent to “continue working toward your goal when a task becomes difficult.”

The models are a milestone for Meta, which has said it plans to spend up to $145 billion this year to power its ambitious AI plans. In an interview with the Financial TimesCEO Mark Zuckerberg said that “getting to this point required both a large amount of calculation and investment, as well as a lot of very rigorous scientific work” from the company’s superintelligence team.

The new models are now available to subscribers. Muse Wonder is available through the Meta API and in Muse Code. Its price is $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens. Muse Wonder Full is available to those who subscribe to Muse Code’s $50/month “power consumption” or $200/month “maximum usage” tiers.
