Zuckerberg Says Meta Has Reached AI 'Frontier' With Muse Wonder, Rejects Industry Slowdown

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company's new Muse Wonder model puts it at the AI frontier and will be sold as a closed, paid product, while dismissing calls for an industry-wide slowdown.

Meta released Muse Wonder on Monday. According to the Financial Times, which interviewed Zuckerberg, the company said the system outperforms Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1 and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on some technical benchmarks, and can carry out complex tasks ranging from "understanding a lease to making sense of financial or health information." The best versions of the model will be closed and sold directly to businesses, putting Meta in competition with Anthropic and OpenAI for corporate AI contracts.

Zuckerberg told the FT that the new system was "going to allow much more sophisticated behaviours that are at the frontier of what is being done in the AI field." He said reaching that point "both required a large amount of compute and investment, and a lot of very rigorous scientific work by the group working on it over an extended period of time."

He signalled further spending ahead, saying Meta was "already working on the next step up" and that model development would "probably feel like it'll go quite a bit faster from here."

Zuckerberg also dismissed growing concern that the technology is advancing faster than it can be controlled. He declined to give a figure for "P(doom)," a widely discussed Silicon Valley term for the probability that AI leads to mass destruction, and instead argued that responsibility for model safety should rest with the individual laboratory. "I'm much closer to the belief that AI is a technology that can be engineered with normal guardrails and built responsibly than the anthropomorphic vision of AI, which is that it is just going to go do its own thing," he said.

He has previously rejected calls for an industry-wide "slowdown" from AI lab leaders including Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman. Zuckerberg also played a key role in drafting US President Donald Trump's White House "Accord on Super Intelligence," which sets out principles for industry self-regulation and which critics say falls far short of a formal global AI governance regime.
