The company is kicking off its new Muse era with Spark, a lightweight model geared toward consumer use. In the future, Meta plans to offer more capable versions of Muse, but for now, it&#8217;s clear the company wants to nail the basics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">To that point, many of Spark&#8217;s capabilities are table stakes for a new model in 2026. For instance, it offers both &#8220;Instant&#8221; and &#8220;Thinking&#8221; modes. With the latter engaged, the model will take an extra few moments to reason through a prompt. Other consumer-facing AI systems have had this kind of flexibility for a while. Anthropic, for example, was one of the first AI labs to offer a &#8220;hybrid reasoning model&#8221; when it released Claude Sonnet 3.7 at the start of last year. That said, Meta plans to add an even more powerful &#8220;Contemplating&#8221; mode down the road.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A GIF demonstrating Muse Spark's multi-agent capabilities.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"836\" class=\"fig-image-round\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/bTgdDUgh8eDWL4.45PMZpQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTgzNg--\/https:\/\/d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net\/images\/user-uploaded\/01_subagent_2309.gif\"><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] figure-caption mt-1 line-clamp-2 mt-2.5 md:mt-2 pr-2.5\">\n<div><span class=\"[&amp;_p]:inline\">A GIF demonstrating Muse Spark&#8217;s multi-agent capabilities.<\/span><span> (Meta)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Muse Spark can also coordinate multiple AI subagents to tackle a request.

In such a scenario, one agent might compile an itinerary, while another finds kid-friendly activities everyone can enjoy.
