Meta has launched Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, which it calls its most capable AI models yet, and shares rose about 4% on launch day. Benchmark claims are mostly Meta's own, and the payoff depends on whether paid Muse subscriptions can start to cover heavy AI spending.

> **Why it matters** After 14 months of heavy AI spending and hiring, this is the first test of whether Meta can compete with OpenAI and Anthropic at the top end and turn that work into subscription revenue.

> **What we verified** Reuters (via MyJoyOnline) and TechCrunch both report the Oct 12 launch, with Muse Wonder Full limited to Muse Code subscribers. Reuters reports shares up about 4% in afternoon trading. Performance comparisons come from Meta's own testing.
