I'm always a bit surprised to see Meta talking about models. They have become (almost*) entirely irrelevant to the LLM race, which is weird because their AI lab used to be decent before LLM was cool.

What happened to zuck? Was the metaverse this destructive?

(*) Feeling charitable today

Meta is trying to stay relevant. They fell behind after llama 4, hired new talent and re-organized.

Isn't Muse Wonder at or at least very close to the frontier? Considering they essentially started from scratch after rebooting their AI efforts post-Llama 4 about a year ago it's pretty solid progress.

They are catching up; the Spark series is good.
