Meta delays rollout of Muse Spark AI model API for developers


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.

Meta unveiled Muse Spark in April as the first model built to close the gap with rivals. Muse Spark is the first in a new series of models created by the company's Superintelligence Labs. Meta is pitching Muse Spark as a faster, more personal assistant.

Described by the company as its “most powerful model” so far, Muse Spark is already available on the Meta AI app and website and is currently behind the Meta AI assistant, according to Wednesday’s announcement.
