  "account": "Meta Platforms Inc. has announced the launch of a new business unit called the Meta Enterprise Platform, which will provide artificial intelligence services to enterprises. The company has appointed CJ Desai, a longtime technology executive, as the chief enterprise platform officer. Desai recently left MongoDB Inc., where he served as CEO for 11 months. Shares of MongoDB fell over 18% upon his departure, with MongoDB stating that Dev Ittycheria, who had led the company for 11 years before Desai's arrival, has returned as interim CEO. The Meta Enterprise Platform will initially focus on broadening the adoption of Meta's Muse agent among enterprises and developers. It will also promote other products, such as Muse Code, a programming agent that uses an agent fan-out mechanism to speed up complex programming tasks, and Meta Business Agent, a chatbot designed to handle customer inquiries via WhatsApp. The Meta Enterprise Platform will also encompass the Muse application programming interface, providing developers access to the large language models that power Meta's agents. Muse Spark 1.3, Meta's newest large language model, has outperformed GPT-5.6 Sol on AutomationBench, a benchmark that measures models' ability to perform knowledge work. It also scores higher on five coding benchmarks. Meta engineers prioritized cost-efficiency while training the model, using about 25% fewer tokens than its predecessor for coding tasks. The Meta Enterprise Platform aims to turn its AI stack into products and services that companies can deploy for their own businesses, with security and privacy built into the products from the outset. The company plans to introduce a Muse Confidential VM later this year, which will isolate Muse instances to prevent Meta from accessing their contents. Meta has a strong incentive to add more cybersecurity features down the line to make Muse more appealing to risk-averse enterprises.",
