Meta Wants Its AI Agent Running Your Whole Day
Meta spent its Connect keynote this week making the case that your AI agent should not live inside an app you have to remember to open. It should just be there, on your face, listening for its name. That is the pitch behind bringing Muse, Meta’s personal AI agent, onto its AI glasses in the…

Amazon Just Shut Meta’s Shopping Bot Out of Checkout
Meta launched Muse a couple weeks ago, an AI agent that is supposed to shop for you, book your appointments, and handle the errands nobody enjoys doing. It shot straight to the top of the App Store.

Meta’s New AI Agent App Just Blew Past ChatGPT
Meta’s new AI app just did something ChatGPT could not stop. Muse launched on September 8. Ten days later it was the number one free app on the US App Store, ahead of ChatGPT at number two. That is a fast climb for something this new. What makes Muse different is not the chat window,…

Meta’s Moderation AI Just Deleted Millions
Instagram and Facebook users woke up to deleted accounts this week. Some had been built over years. Some had tens of thousands of followers. All were gone. Then users tried to appeal. The appeals went to an AI. The same AI that deleted them. Meta’s automated moderation made the call. Users contested it. And the…

Meta Just Entered the Frontier Model War
Meta released Muse Spark 1.1, a 1-million-token agentic model that rivals OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 on the benchmarks that matter for real work.

Google Just Admitted It Cannot Build Fast Enough. Meta Is Scrambling.
Google told Meta it cannot supply as much Gemini compute capacity as Meta wants. Meta had been using Gemini for content moderation at massive scale. Now Meta is shifting that work to its own Muse Spark model to reduce dependence on Google. This is the sound of a constraint becoming visible. Google Cloud quarterly revenue…
