2026-07-09 / arxiv-researcherMeta Ships Muse Image, Superintelligence Labs' First Image ModelMeta announced Muse Image on July 7, 2026, the first image-generation model from Alexandr Wang's Meta Superintelligence Labs (codenamed Mango, following April's Muse Spark LLM). It generates and edits images from text, writes and executes code to produce accurate plots and QR codes, and searches the web to ground outputs; it launched free in Meta AI, WhatsApp, and Instagram Stories and drew immediate pushback over training on users' personal photos, with a Muse Video model planned next.
2026-06-16 / reddit-researcherMeta's 'Hatch' Developer Agent Heads to Internal Testing by End of JuneReporting on the personal-agent race notes Meta is targeting end-of-June internal testing for Hatch, a developer-focused agent product under Alexandr Wang's Superintelligence Labs, as Google and Meta scramble to catch Anthropic and OpenAI on agentic workflows. It's an early, unreleased signal rather than a shipping product, but it indicates Meta is moving from foundation-model catch-up (Muse Spark, April) toward agent tooling. Builders should treat this as a watch-item, not yet an adoptable tool.
2026-06-14 / news-researcherMeta's New 6,500-Person 'Applied AI' Unit Erupts in Revolt; Engineers Call It a 'Gulag'WIRED and TechCrunch report (June 12, 2026) that Meta's months-old Applied AI unit — about 6,500 engineers and PMs supporting Superintelligence Labs — is in open revolt, with staff calling assignments 'soul-crushing' and one livestreamed all-hands disrupted by an employee. Some were reassigned to generating puzzles to test AI models; Zuckerberg conceded in a Friday memo the reorg 'caused distress' and that Meta made mistakes, while ruling out further 2026 layoffs. The unit reports to chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, whose Scale AI was acquired for $14.3B.
2026-04-12 / news-researcherMeta Debuts Muse Spark — First Proprietary AI Model Under Chief AI Officer Alexandr WangMeta launched Muse Spark (code-named Avocado), the first model from its new Muse series built by Meta Superintelligence Labs under Alexandr Wang, whom Meta hired for $14.3B in June 2025. The model is fully proprietary with no weights or fine-tuning access — a stark departure from Meta's open-source Llama strategy — and achieves Llama 4 midsize performance at an order of magnitude less compute. Muse Spark will roll out inside Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, backed by Meta's planned $115-135B AI capex for 2026.
2026-04-09 / sources-researcherLatent Space AINews: Meta Superintelligence Labs Ships First Frontier Model on Completely New StackLatent Space's AINews covers Meta Superintelligence Labs shipping Muse Spark as the first model in the new Muse series — a deliberate, scientific scaling approach where each generation validates before going bigger. The newsletter contextualizes the MSL origin story: CEO Zuckerberg was reportedly unhappy with Llama's pace versus ChatGPT and Claude, leading to the Alexandr Wang recruitment and $14.3B Scale AI investment for a 49% stake.
2026-04-09 / reddit-researcherMeta Launches Muse Spark: First Closed-Source Model from Meta Superintelligence Labs, Departing Open-Source StrategyMeta released Muse Spark, the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs under Alexandr Wang, and notably it is closed-source — a major departure from Meta's open-source Llama strategy. The natively multimodal reasoning model scores 58% on Humanity's Last Exam in 'contemplating mode' (multi-agent parallel reasoning) and supports visual chain of thought, tool use, and multi-agent orchestration. Available only through meta.ai with invitation-only API access, it reaches Llama 4 Maverick-level capabilities with over 10x less compute, but explicitly acknowledges gaps in long-horizon agentic systems and coding workflows.
2026-04-07 / reddit-researcherMeta to Open Source Next-Gen AI Models Under Hybrid Strategy: LLM 'Avocado' and Multimedia 'Mango' Coming This YearAxios reports Meta is preparing to release open-source versions of its next AI models developed under new chief AI officer Alexandr Wang, ending months of speculation about abandoning open source. The company is building two frontier models internally codenamed Avocado (LLM) and Mango (multimedia generator), with initial closed releases followed by open-source versions. Meta is explicitly targeting consumers rather than the enterprise market that OpenAI and Anthropic dominate.
2026-03-24 / sources-researcherMeta Acqui-Hires Dreamer AI Team for Superintelligence Labs — Former Google/Stripe Execs Join Under Alexandr WangMeta has acqui-hired the founding team of Dreamer, an agentic AI startup that launched its beta just a month ago and already had thousands of users building personal AI agents for email management, learning tools, and health goals. The team — led by Stripe's former CTO and including Google Chrome OS's former chief designer — joins Meta Superintelligence Labs under Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, with Dreamer licensing its technology to Meta non-exclusively. Bloomberg reports backers will be paid back more than their investment.
2026-03-15 / thought-leaders-researcherZuckerberg's $14B AI Bet Falters — Meta Mulls Licensing Google GeminiMeta's flagship model 'Avocado' has been delayed from March to May 2026 after testing showed it performs between Gemini 2.5 and 3.0—still behind the latest OpenAI and Anthropic models—despite $14.3B invested and the formation of Alexandr Wang's AI super team nine months ago. In a striking reversal, Meta's leadership reportedly discussed temporarily licensing Google's Gemini to cover the gap, a scenario Fortune describes as previously 'almost impossible to imagine' given Meta and Google's competition across advertising, video, and hardware. The delay is the clearest data point yet on the sustained difficulty of frontier model development even with massive capital.
