Did Mark Zuckerberg Just Reboot The AI Race?
eWeek, Thursday, April 9th, 2026
Meta is officially back in the AI ring. The company just launched Muse Spark, the first major model from its new Meta Superintelligence Labs, and its first big AI release since Mark Zuckerberg reshuffled the org and brought in Alexandr Wang to help get things back on track.
The pitch is pretty straightforward: Muse Spark now powers the Meta AI app and Meta.ai, with rollout coming to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Meta's AI glasses in the coming weeks. Meta says it's multimodal, built for speed, and offers both an Instant mode for quick answers and a Thinking mode for harder questions.
