Meta has repeatedly pushed back plans to release its new Muse Spark AI model API to developers, and as of Tuesday, had no scheduled launch date, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
A Meta spokesperson told Reuters on Wednesday that the company is already testing the Application Programming Interface (API) with some early partners and is looking forward to releasing it this month.
An API is a type of software interface that determines how two software systems will interact.
"The muse spark API will be coming soon," Meta AI Chief Alexandr Wang announced in a post on X in April.
