What are Muse Spark benchmarks?

Muse Spark scores 52 overall on Artificial Analysis Index, dominates medical (HealthBench 42.8) and science, but lags coding (59 on Terminal-Bench) and abstract reasoning.

Why did Meta release a closed-source model?

After Llama flops and Chinese models grabbing 69% open-source share, Meta hired Alexandr Wang for $14.3B Scale stake to build efficient, proprietary specialists via new MSL labs.

Does Muse Spark kill open-source AI?

Not yet, but it signals Meta's pivot—efficiency lets them compete closed while Chinese open models rule downloads; predict more closures ahead.
