Just checked their subscription is still North America only, I guess I will keep myself and my company with claude...

These regional lockdowns are making me feel funky, I feel like I should just use open models if others start playing at this game as well.

I was/am fine with Chinese companies offering cheaper subscriptions in China because ofc. But this is just weird, you could always charge me more let me try the damn thing, atleast it's own open router it seems like.

Initial impressions, interesting, it generated a pretty ok result for my prompt need to run a larger task but don't want to burn money so will wait for someone to burn their subscription and try running some opus 5.5 comparisons.

spinning up a GPU and as many cores as possible?

mousewheel repurposed?

background follow your mouse?

neutral tones?

well then YOU are viewing a frontier model announcement!

As someone who got a Muse Code sub last month, I find this announcement a bit disheartening because it makes me think the lower tier subs are going to get rug pulled. I'm on the $15 plan for a month now and it's value with Muse Spark 1.3 Max-contributor beats everything else by a long shot. Two somewhat small prompts with Muse Wonder Max-contributor used 4% of my weekly quota and I quickly switched back. I was thinking about getting the $50 plan and I'm actually less likely to do that right now.

In the context of Meta trying to get non-technical people to embrace Muse agents to handle personal affairs, their internal metric showing a ~3% violation rate for mishandling personal information seems unacceptably high.

Not that interesting unless it's made open weights. Frontier lasts weeks, inference is a commodity.

So, Wonder (and not Wonder Full) will "will soon power experiences in" their assistant app. But no rollout details .

Then, Full is meant for API usage and "Muse Code" only.

It's getting confusing what having "Muse" means.

Reminded me of when George Hotz said only Zuck has “the button”. [0]

The Mishandling Personal Information benchmark is non-sensical: that's the very definition of giving your personal data to Meta

Does it weight tokens on their ability to elicit negative emotions in users in order to drive engagement?

While some are afraid that one rouge AI system may take over the world (or cause doom is some fashion), I think one of the best safety mechanisms to prevent this is having many competing and adversarial labs that are extremely close to each other. So it's good to see that Meta is not showing any intention of leaving the frontier.
