4. Meta Superintelligence Labs Launches Muse Image and Previews Muse Video
Meta Superintelligence Labs has launched Muse Image, its most advanced image generation model, and previewed Muse Video as the first media generation models from the lab. Muse Image supports instruction-following, precision editing, multi-reference composition, Instagram social context, and agentic tool use, and integrates with the Muse Spark language model. It is available in the Meta AI app and on meta.ai, Instagram Stories in the US, and WhatsApp in limited countries, with Facebook availability coming soon. Muse Video is built on the same pretraining base as Muse Image and delivers visual fidelity with native audio support, with a broader release to creators and Meta AI coming soon. The launch marks Meta’s move toward developing its own in-house media generation models after previously relying on third-party providers.
