Meta releases Muse Wonder AI models to challenge Anthropic and OpenAI

Oct 12 (Reuters) - Meta ‌on Monday ​launched ​Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, calling them its most capable ‌AI models yet, as the social ⁠media firm looks to compete more forcefully with OpenAI ‌and Anthropic.

Meta's shares rose ‌about 4% in afternoon trading.

• The launch comes after CEO Mark Zuckerberg pledged billions ​of dollars and aggressively poached researchers over the past year to catch ⁠up in Silicon Valley's intensifying AI race

• Meta said Muse ​Wonder would soon power its Muse personal AI agent, initially for subscribers, ​while the more powerful ‌Muse Wonder Full model is available to subscribers of its AI ⁠coding tool Muse Code

• "Fourteen months ago, we began an overhaul of our AI efforts, and ⁠in that time we've gone from rebuilding our ​foundations to pushing the frontier," Meta said in a blog post

• Meta's successful rollout of its personal ‌AI agent Muse last month could open a lucrative path to turn ‌its heavy AI investments into new ⁠revenue streams with ‌subscriptions, despite facing ​concerns over user privacy
