Meta Muse runs agents on AMD EPYC Turin hosts with two cores and 8GB of memory

Meta's new AI agent, Muse, is powered by AMD EPYC Turin host systems, with each sandbox featuring two dedicated cores and 8GB of memory (source). Evan Hoffman and analyst Tae Kim discovered that Muse can run some basic Ubuntu commands when prompted, sharing the output to identify host system specifications (source). However, the AI agent appears capable of executing potentially unsafe commands, such as setting up SSH access to the Muse's private virtual machine (VM) (source).

Hoffman noted that Muse offered to set up SSH into a Muse user's private VM, raising concerns about potential security vulnerabilities (source). Muse runs on Ubuntu 24.04 and uses Linux kernel 7.0, with the VMs hosted on high-density Turin chips capable of supporting up to 128 cores (source). Meta's servers for Muse do not include GPUs, as the AI agent runs in CPU-only sandboxes (source).

Each user is reportedly given their own private, persistent sandbox, allowing Meta to estimate that hosting 500,000 daily active users would require around 2,000 server trays, each containing dual EPYC 9D25 CPUs and 2TB of memory (source). While Muse is open to Android, iOS, and MacOS, access on other platforms requires a browser with a Meta account (source).
