What is Meta's Muse Spark actually good at?

Vacation planning and shopping nudges, per demos—handles multi-agent tasks okay, but flops on coding, multilingual, reasoning.

Is Muse Spark open source like Llama?

No, it's proprietary, private preview only—big shift from Meta's old playbook.

Will Meta's $14B AI spend pay off?

Maybe via e-commerce on their platforms, but first model suggests more pivots ahead.
