"Muse Spark is available now, and Contemplating mode will be rolling out gradually in meta.ai."

How does one get their hands on these models? They are not open-source, right? I go to meta.ai, but it's just a chat interface---no equivalent to codex or claud code? Can you use this through OpenCode? Is meta charging for model access, or is the gathering of chat data a sufficiently large tithe?

"It will be available in private preview via API to select partners, and we hope to open-source future versions of the model."

I can't think of any "select partners" that would want to use this non-SOTA model. Just put it on OpenRouter.

If Microsoft is a select partner, maybe they could shove it into Copilot for VS or something, but yeah, I'm wondering the same, maybe Apple could be one of their partners too?

I appreciate that they build this stuff for their own benefit, but I don't want to feed even more of my private info. Hopefully the models will become public or lead to equivalent models from other sources.

That would be my question also. I like it when companies have easy to sign up for, pay as you go models. Being able to buy $5 worth of tokens and get an API key - in less than a few minutes - is ideal.

TBD it seems. So far the only explained usage pattern is through a Meta product (Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram).

So to verify their claims and see how strong these models are, the answer is "believe us"?

Note: I'm expressing some skepticism here largely due to how recent rollouts from Meta flopped. Sincerely hoping that they do better this time around!

I assume the answer is try it out in the chat mode? You could run your usual benches through that right
