Meta delays release of Muse Spark model weights

Meta has not yet released the weights for its Muse Spark model, despite promising to do so over a month ago. The release was initially slated for August, coinciding with the Spark 1.2 version, but has been delayed. Users are questioning whether Meta will release the older weights or wait for a newer version, especially given comments from Mark Zuckerberg emphasizing the need to release models quickly to compete globally. The delay is particularly noted as Chinese AI models are reportedly open-source, creating a competitive dynamic. AI

IMPACT Potential delay in open-source AI model availability could impact global competition and research.
