Meta's new frontier model, Muse Wonder, demonstrated significant inefficiencies during a playthrough of Pokémon Red, costing $96.06 and failing to progress beyond the initial forest area. In contrast, Opus 5.5 completed the same game for $8.44, highlighting a substantial gap between Meta's marketing claims of superintelligence and the model's practical performance. While Meta touts Muse Wonder's capabilities in active memory and focus, and its strong performance on benchmarks like MemoryBench and Artificial Analysis, questions remain about the extent of benchmark-specific training versus genuine emergent capabilities.
