Capabilities, design details, and architectural traits

Muse Spark Open - Meta's open-weight agentic MoE model

Muse Spark Open is the open-weights release of Muse Spark, built by Meta Superintelligence Labs and positioned by Meta as the most capable US open-weight model to date. It is a sparse mixture-of-experts model trained specifically for long-horizon agentic work such as coding and customer service agents, and it shares the same base model as Muse Spark 1.3.

TraitDetail
Sparse MoE scale816B total parameters with roughly 42B active per token, released under the Muse Model License
1M-token contextHolds a million tokens, enough to read an entire codebase with dependencies, legacy code and thousands of files without splitting the task
Native multimodalityTakes text, image, video and audio input through a NaViT visual encoder and a dedicated audio encoder feeding a shared language decoder
Long-horizon agentic trainingTrained to read a large codebase, plan a change, call tools, check results and self-correct when a step fails, not just single-shot tool calls
Subagent and computer-use trainingTrained to spawn and coordinate subagents, browse the web including multimodal browsing, and use desktop, mobile and browser in a unified computer-use capability
Intent commentaryGenerates separate commentary stating intent before acting, so users always know what the model is doing and why
Always-on reasoning with adjustable effortReasons before every answer, with reasoning effort levels from low to xhigh

Built for real developer workflows

The model is trained on real developer workflows such as multi-file refactors, debugging sessions and long-running tasks, aiming at higher first-attempt accuracy and reliable tool calling. It received additional safety post-training to make it more robust as a standalone model without system guardrails.

Open post-training path

TorchTitan supports supervised fine-tuning, LoRA and reinforcement learning out of the box.
