Meta Unveils Muse Spark
Key point
Meta unveiled Muse Spark while continuing to offer the existing Llama.
Details
On April 8, Meta unveiled Muse Spark, the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs. This model powers the Meta AI app and meta.ai, and will expand to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and AI glasses going forward, with a private preview API offered to selected partners.
Currently, Llama models continue to be offered, but Meta has only left open the possibility of open-source for future versions. Muse Spark is a proprietary model and cloud-only, so there is no direct migration path from Llama, whose strengths are downloadable open weights and self-hosting.
- You can continue using the existing Llama.
- You can move to alternative open models like Mistral, DeepSeek, or Qwen.
- You can switch to proprietary APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic.
The latter part presents forks such as llama.cpp, ik_llama.cpp, Rkllama, llama-rs, and OpenLLaMA as practical alternatives.
