Nine Months of Building: Muse Spark Model Launch Success
By
–
Fun nine months! My first week i remember we had a long dinner in the cafeteria daydreaming about the cool research directions to pursue, then going to back to our desks to write a basic script to inference llama. Now we have a pretty complete stack and our first model is out 🥑 Alexandr Wang (@alexandr_wang) 1/ today we're releasing muse spark, the first model from MSL. nine months ago we rebuilt our ai stack from scratch. new infrastructure, new architecture, new data pipelines. muse spark is the result of that work, and now it powers meta ai. 🧵 — https://nitter.net/alexandr_wang/status/2041909376508985381#m
