Meta says it has caught up with Anthropic and OpenAI with Muse Spark 1.3, its most powerful AI model yet

Meta Platforms Inc. has recently unveiled its most powerful large language model to date, Muse Spark 1.3. According to the company's blog post, the new model can be accessed by developers through its application programming interface and will soon be rolled out to users of Meta's social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, as well as the Meta AI application.

During an interview with Bloomberg, Meta's Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang stated that Muse Spark 1.3 is now on par with the latest models from OpenAI and Anthropic, demonstrating Meta's significant leap in model performance. Wang highlighted Muse Spark 1.3's improved coding and agentic automation capabilities, noting that it is "competitive" with Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 and "better than" OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol model, particularly in generating code.

Muse Spark 1.3 has also outperformed current Chinese models, according to Wang. While the AI community remains cautious about such claims due to benchmark tests, an independent analysis by Artificial Analysis revealed that Muse Spark achieved a score of 62 on its Intelligence Index, trailing only Claude Fable 5.1 and Opus 5, and surpassing OpenAI's models.

  • Previousresponseid requires explicit policy in every conversation turn.
  • Guard mechanism prevents accidental omission of essential instructions.
