I mean, now Meta making waves with this new frontier AI model. It's called Muse Wonder. And I also want to point out, Dan, that in a post on X, I'm sure you saw it, CEO Mark Zuckerberg actually said that it's caught up with top companies Open AI and Anthropic.

I mean, you were busy already with the Microsoft News. Now this, what's the latest in this development?

00:21 Dan

Yeah, this is their Muse Wonder and Muse Wonderful. Basically Muse Wonderful is kind of the entire uh model and then they have a a faster working model.

00:29 Dan

And really what they're doing here is they're going to launch this uh to some subscribers early. Eventually it'll power all of Muse, the company's AI agent that recently launched and has seen a lot of success.

00:37 Dan

Uh and this is kind of Meta's big push into the frontier space. They haven't been a part of that conversation in more than a year.

00:46 Dan

Uh they previously were going to launch their uh Llama 4 Behemoth, that was uh late last spring. Uh they ended up just putting the kibosh on that entirely because it didn't perform up to the standards that that they wanted.
