Meta enters AI frontier with new Muse Wonder models, challenging OpenAI and Anthropic

Meta has launched its new Muse Wonder family of AI models, with the larger version, Muse Wonder Full, achieving the second-highest ranking on Artificial Analysis's intelligence index, just behind Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5. This release marks Meta's significant entry into the frontier AI space, previously dominated by OpenAI and Anthropic. Muse Wonder Full demonstrates strong performance in legal work, long coding tasks, and memory, surpassing models like Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-6 Astra in these areas. The models are available through Muse Code plans and Meta's API, with pricing expected to be competitive. AI

IMPACT Meta's entry into the frontier AI space intensifies competition and may drive down pricing for advanced models.
