They chose to compare against Open AI’s mid tier model Terra instead of Sol and still lost some benchmark against it.

They left Opus in and got beat in all but one benchmark.

Nothing wrong with trying to improve, but why the marketing games?

Instead of trying to say in the post you’re “closer” to frontier, first set a clear goal to beat the Chinese labs on price or performance and demonstrate it convincingly.

Then when your ready, come back and talk frontier without playing hide the model.

Muse Spark 1.1 was released July 16th, less than a month ago. A new version release this soon (particularly after Kimi K3's release drastically overshadowed it) is a bit sus and it appears that Meta is trying a first launch do-over.

Frequent minor version bumps are pretty common these days. Opus 4.7 -> 4.8 was 42 days.

Will someone at Meta for the love of God make it so none of this stuff goes through Facebook.com? You want customers but most corporate firewalls block social media. Also, a lot of devs do not want their work stuff tied up to their facebook account. For the love of all things show the IG / FB logins as optional and do email as primary. I am not a fan of Meta but I do cheer for any competitors against OpenAI and Anthr…

China says hi.

I honestly think they're kinda banking on piggybacking off of Facebook account integrity systems to avoid the problems that other LLM providers are facing in trying to prevent mass free trial signups for token relays and so forth.

It's not a good system obviously. Google did this as well for Gemini-CLI, but forced it to be linked to personal Google accounts (which caused a great deal of onboarding friction).

Which was in itself a do-over because Opus 4.7 received a lot of bad press on suspicion of being a regression from 4.6.

Somewhat surprised that Meta with all their resources couldn’t make a model that matches Composer on any frontier. All the Sparks are dominated by some other model everywhere along the frontier. Nothing fancy here since Llama defined the open model.

The use traces must be crucial to functionality which is why they’re keeping prices so low.
