Meta unveils Muse Spark; expands deal
Meta introduced Muse Spark as part of a new Avocado AI family, marking a strategic push toward a refreshed AI stack from its superintelligence team. (openthemagazine.com) At the same time, Meta expanded its long-term capacity deal with CoreWeave to about $21 billion, underlining the scale of infrastructure commitments now backing model deployments.

Meta just paired a new flagship artificial intelligence model with a cloud deal that runs through December 2032 and is worth about $21 billion. The model is called Muse Spark, and the cloud supplier is CoreWeave. (about.fb.com) (investors.coreweave.com) Muse Spark is the first model in a new Muse series built by Meta Superintelligence Labs, the group Meta says rebuilt its artificial intelligence stack over the last nine months. Meta says Muse Spark already powers the Meta AI app and website. (about.fb.com) Meta says Muse Spark will roll out next to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and its artificial intelligence glasses in the coming weeks. That means this is not a lab demo sitting on a shelf; it is a model Meta plans to push across products used by billions of people. (about.fb.com) The company describes the Muse line as a step-by-step scaling plan instead of one giant leap. In plain terms, Meta is saying it wants to build one model generation, test it, and then use that result to decide how much bigger to go next. (about.fb.com) That slower-looking model plan sits next to a very fast infrastructure plan. CoreWeave said Meta expanded a long-term agreement for artificial intelligence cloud capacity through December 2032, and the total value is approximately $21 billion. (investors.coreweave.com) CoreWeave said the added capacity is for inference workloads. Inference is the part where a trained model answers real user requests, so this deal is about serving live traffic at scale, not just training a model once in a research cluster. (investors.coreweave.com) Meta has been stacking these supply deals in public. Meta announced a long-term infrastructure partnership with NVIDIA on February 17, 2026, and a long-term artificial intelligence infrastructure agreement with Advanced Micro Devices on February 24, 2026. (about.fb.com) Put together, the pattern is simple: Meta is refreshing the model layer at the same time it locks in years of computing power underneath it. Muse Spark is the software bet, and the CoreWeave contract is the machinery needed to keep that software answering millions of prompts without slowing down. (about.fb.com) (investors.coreweave.com) CoreWeave has been raising money to build for exactly this kind of demand. On March 31, 2026, the company said it closed an $8.5 billion financing facility tied to graphics processing unit assets, giving it more fuel to expand the cloud capacity customers like Meta are reserving years in advance. (investors.coreweave.com) The result is that Meta is no longer talking about artificial intelligence as a side feature inside social apps. As of April 2026, it is building a new model family, wiring that family into WhatsApp and Instagram, and reserving cloud capacity almost seven years out to keep those systems running.
