Meta to release new AI model with advanced coding capabilities ‘soon’
Meta Platforms Inc. is gearing up to release a new version of its flagship Muse Spark artificial intelligence model.
Alexandr Wang, the company’s chief AI officer, wrote on X today that the update will roll out “soon.” The announcement came a few hours after Business Insider reported that the new algorithm is competitive with GPT-5.5 across several “closely followed” AI benchmarks. The publication’s sources didn’t name the benchmarks.
Practically all frontier model announcements include results from SWE-Bench Pro, a benchmark used to evaluate AI systems’ coding capabilities. The original version of Muse Spark scored 52.5% on the test. GPT-5.5, the OpenAI Group PBC model that Meta’s new algorithm reportedly matches, reached 58.6%. GPT-5.5 also outperformed Muse Spark on another popular coding benchmark called Terminal-Bench 2.0.
Wang said on X that Meta’s upcoming model is significantly more adept at coding than Muse Spark. He added that it’s also better at powering AI agents.
