Meta says its Muse Spark 1.1 AI model can now rival top coding tools

TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Following the debut of its first in-house Muse Spark system in April, Meta has released an upgraded version that integrates with AI coding tools. The company is making the update available to US developers through a public preview of its Model API.

Meta calls Muse Spark 1.1 a “step-change” from the first generation, with improvements based on feedback from developers.

Meta calls Muse Spark 1.1 a “step-change” from the first generation, with improvements based on feedback from developers. The firm claims the model handles more sophisticated programming tasks such as spotting and resolving intricate errors, offers stronger assistance for complete agentic processes spanning various applications including those with multiple agents, and includes built-in multimodal understanding of images, videos and documents.

This release arrives days after Meta introduced Muse Image, a text-to-image system that has drawn criticism for pulling in Instagram material from other accounts during its output process. The moves form part of the social media giant’s drive to validate the substantial sums invested in closing the gap with rivals such as OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, particularly after last year’s wave of prominent recruitments and internal reorganization.

Muse Spark 1.1 is already accessible in Thinking mode on the Meta AI mobile application and website. Developers in the United States can begin using it immediately via the newly opened Model API preview, which comes with $20 in complimentary credits for each fresh account. The original Muse Spark debuted exclusively inside Meta AI before being extended to chat features on Instagram, WhatsApp and the newest Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
