Meta released Muse Spark Open on October 15, 2026. It is an open-weight multimodal model from Meta Superintelligence Labs. The model uses a sparse mixture-of-experts architecture with 816B total parameters and about 42B active per token. It supports a context window of up to 1,048,576 tokens. It accepts text, image, video and audio input and generates text. Meta positions it for coding, agent workflows and long-horizon tasks. The weights are available under Meta’s Muse Model License. It can be accessed via a hosted playground, an API or self-hosted inference. Self-hosting requires substantial GPU memory and specialized setups. The model does not generate images, video or audio. Providers may impose their own limits on inputs, context and features.
