  "account": "Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg announced the company's latest artificial intelligence models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, which the firm touts as its most powerful yet. These models are designed to bring Meta closer to the concept of \"personal superintelligence.\" The introduction of two new features, Active Memory and Active Focus, allows the AI to retain relevant information across conversations and maintain focus on challenging tasks. Independent evaluation platform Artificial Analysis rated Wonder Full at 56 on its Intelligence Index, while the regular Wonder scored 52, both under maximum reasoning conditions. These scores place Full above Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra, which both achieved a 53, but behind Claude Opus 5.5's 58. Abacus.AI CEO Bindu Reddy criticized Meta's performance claims, stating that Muse Wonder is \"nowhere near Fable or Astra level\" and promised further detailed benchmark results. The new models represent Meta's most costly offerings yet, with the standard Wonder priced at $4 per million input tokens, comparable to Claude Opus 5.5 but less than GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1, which are priced at $10 and $50, respectively. Wonder Full is restricted to subscribers who opt for Meta's $50 monthly \"power usage\" or $200 monthly \"maximum usage\" plans.",
