Meta says its new AI models on par with OpenAI, Anthropic

Meta says its new AI models on par with OpenAI, Anthropic

Meta unveiled two new frontier AI models called Wonder and Wonder Full on Monday, claiming they perform at a level comparable to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude. CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that Muse Wonder is a much larger and more advanced class of models that brings Meta to the frontier. The company made a US$14 billion investment in Scale AI and later hired Scale AI's co-founder Alexandr Wang as its chief AI officer, overseeing Superintelligence Labs.

The new models will soon be used in Meta's Muse personal agent app for paid subscribers. Benchmarking data from Artificial Analysis suggests that Meta's Wonder models outperform previous models and those of Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. Meta has committed billions to competing in the global AI race, despite growing concerns about safety and security. The company has delayed Muse's launch for several months to focus on safety and security.
