Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg returned to X (formerly Twitter) after nearly three years to announce the public launch of Meta’s new Muse Spark 1.1 AI model. However, it was not just the AI announcement that caught users’ attention. Hours after Mark Zuckerberg’s post, X’s Head of Product Nikita Bier publicly replied with a business proposal, asking whether the Meta chief wanted to enable the platform’s Creator Monetization feature on his account. The exchange quickly drew attention as it came on the platform owned by Elon Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion in 2022.Announcing the release of Muse Spark 1.1, Zuckerberg shared a post writing “Today we’re releasing Muse Spark 1.1 — a strong agentic and coding model at a very low price. It’s available through our new Meta Model API and in Meta AI”.Shortly after the post, X Product Head Nikita Bier replied: “Hello Mark, would you like me to enable Creator Monetization on your account.”Zuckerberg did not publicly respond to the offer.
Mark Zuckerberg announces Meta’s latest AI model
In a series of posts, Mark Zuckerberg said Muse Spark 1.1 is designed for coding, tool use and long-running AI tasks. He said the model supports a 1 million-token context window, can delegate work to parallel AI agents and is trained to use desktop, mobile and browser interfaces.Zuckerberg also announced that developers in the United States can now access the model through the Meta Model API. According to Meta, the company is offering $20 in free trial credits to developers who sign up during the public preview before moving them to a pay-as-you-go pricing model.According to Meta, Muse Spark 1.1 is designed to serve as a framework for “personal superintelligence.” The system can write and debug software code, navigate external applications, analyse text, images and video simultaneously, and execute multi-step logic workflows with very little human supervision. Meta originally debuted the baseline version of Muse Spark in April, utilising a private preview to test the Application Programming Interface (API) with select corporate partners.
