Meta’s Muse Spark impresses with vision capabilities and free access
By
–
people are finding all the cool things we built into muse spark 🙂 Deedy (@deedydas) The coolest thing Meta AI's Muse Spark can do by far is counting objects! As you can tell, it's far from perfect. They call it "visual grounding" and it can count objects and do bounding boxes. I've been playing with the new model and here's what I think so far: Good stuff: – Incredible at vision. It's ability to read text in images is the best I've seen. – Really high quality at web design. It's the only model I've seen that uses Unsplash, OpenLibrary and other images by default. – It's free! You don't pay to use Muse Spark Thinking. Bad stuff: – Meta's classic playbook of growth tactics are dodgy. They're sending Instagram notifs to people's friends without their consent. Their app ranking jump is not organic. – Reasoning itself is pretty solid but not best in class. It can do pretty advanced math and science problems. The long term threat here is Meta has distribution and has the ability to give their model away for free, which makes them a formidable threat to the big AI labs, particularly in consumer. — https://nitter.net/deedydas/status/2043127931405529474#m

One of the xAI API's most underrated features is our Voice API (which includes text-to-speech and voice agents). We're giving all developers access to literally the same tech that powers experiences like Grok in Tesla. docs.x.ai/developers/model-capabilities/audio/text-to-speech [Translated from EN to English]

Instead of making isolated edits, LongCat is designed to follow detailed prompts that require consistency across multiple changes bringing AI closer to real creative workflows. We break down why traditional image editing models struggle with sequential instructions, how LongCat maintains coherence across edits, and what this means for designers and creators working with AI tools. If you’re interested in generative image editing, multimodal models, or the future of AI-assisted creativity, this episode explains why LongCat represents an important step toward more controllable and context-aware image generation.
