Muse Spark

Meta's Muse model for agentic coding, long documents and everyday tasks, version 1.3, with a 1M-⁠token context window

About Muse Spark

Muse Spark 1.3 is the September version of Meta's Muse Spark, the model for agentic coding, long documents and everyday tasks. It reads text, images, video and files and holds up to 1 million tokens in one conversation

Muse Spark 1.3 scores 57.9% on AutomationBench against 35.4% for Claude Haiku 5.5, and 48.0% on the hard set of the CritPt physics test against 29.5% for Qwen 3.8 Max. It is the fourth Muse Spark release in five months, and each one has raised its scores in coding and agent tasks

On Overchat AI, Muse Spark is in the same chat as Muse Wonder, Claude and GPT-⁠6, so you can ask it, attach a file and switch models without starting over

Examples of Muse Spark answers to 3 prompts: Write a SQL query, Explain the science and Plan a trip. Each answer is the unedited output of the model

Write a SQL query that finds customers who ordered in at least three consecutive months, from a table orders(customer_id, ordered_at, amount). Then explain the trick behind it in two sentences.

Muse Spark

Query (PostgreSQL):

sql
WITH monthly AS (
  SELECT DISTINCT
    customer_id,
    DATE_TRUNC('month', ordered_at)::date AS mon
  FROM orders
),
with_lags AS (
  SELECT
    customer_id,
    mon,
    LAG(mon) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_id ORDER BY mon) AS prev1,
    LAG(mon, 2) OVER (PARTITION BY customer_id ORDER BY mon) AS prev2
  FROM monthly
)
SELECT DISTINCT customer_id
FROM with_lags
WHERE mon = (prev1 + INTERVAL '1 month')::date
  AND prev1 = (prev2 + INTERVAL '1 month')::date;

How it works: The trick is to collapse orders to distinct customer-months and use LAG() to look back at the two previous months for each customer. If both gaps are exactly one month, then the current month completes a run of three consecutive months.

Explain why ice floats on water while most frozen liquids sink, in under 150 words, for a high school student. Plain text, no formulas.

Muse Spark

Most liquids get denser when they freeze because their particles pack tighter together as they slow down, so the solid sinks. Water is weird because of how its molecules stick together. Water molecules form special links called hydrogen bonds. When water freezes, these bonds lock the molecules into a wide open honeycomb-like crystal with a lot of empty space inside. That means the same amount of water takes up more room as ice than as liquid. Since ice takes up more space for the same weight, it is less dense than liquid water. Less dense things float on denser things, so ice floats. This is actually great for life because floating ice insulates lakes in winter.

Plan a 4-day trip to Kyoto in April for two people on a mid-range budget: one line for each morning, afternoon and evening, and a rough daily budget in US dollars at the end.

Muse Spark

Perfect time to go — early April is peak cherry blossom season in Kyoto! Here's a mid-range plan for two:

Day 1: Arrival & South Kyoto Morning: Arrive, check into hotel near Kyoto Station and walk to Nishi Hongan-ji and Shosei-en Garden for first blossoms. Afternoon: Hike through the 10,000 vermilion gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha and try street snacks like inari sushi and yakitori. Evening: Evening stroll through Gion and Pontocho Alley for traditional streets, then enjoy an izakaya dinner by the Kamo River. Daily Budget: ~$280 for two (hotel $150 + food $80 + local transport $50)

Day 2: East Kyoto & Sakura Spots Morning: Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple early for views over the city, then walk down preserved Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka lanes. Afternoon: Picnic under cherry blossoms at Maruyama Park and visit Yasaka Shrine and Kodai-ji Temple. Evening: Experience a Yudofu (tofu hot pot) dinner in Higashiyama and see Kiyomizu illuminated for spring night viewing. Daily Budget: ~$300 for two (hotel $150 + food $100 + temples/transport $50)

Day 3: West Kyoto & Arashiyama Morning: Walk the Bamboo Grove early in Arashiyama, then visit Tenryu-ji Temple and its zen garden in full spring color. Afternoon: See UNESCO-listed Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) and nearby Ryoan-ji rock garden, then relax with matcha at Kitano Tenmangu. Evening: Return downtown for Nishiki Market tasting walk, then casual ramen dinner and craft beer in central Kyoto. Daily Budget: ~$290 for two (hotel $150 + food $90 + transport/entrance $50)

Day 4: Philosopher's Path & Farewell Morning: Cherry blossom walk along the Philosopher's Path to Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion) and Honen-in Temple. Afternoon: Explore Demachi Masugata Shotengai and the Kyoto Imperial Palace Park for last sakura photos and souvenirs. Evening: Farewell kaiseki-style set dinner on Kawaramachi, then Shinkansen/bus out or final night hanami at Kamogawa riverside. Daily Budget: ~$270 for two (hotel $150 + food $90 + transport $30)

Tip: Book hotels 3-4 months ahead for April — prices double during sakura week.

Muse Spark 1.3 is a version of Meta's Muse Spark model, released on September 2, 2026. It is built for agentic coding, long documents and everyday tasks, reads text, images, video and files and holds up to 1 million tokens in one conversation

Muse Spark 1.3 is the fourth Muse Spark release in five months, after versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. It is better than 1.2 at agent and coding tasks: its Terminal-Bench 2.1 score rose from 80% to 85% and its CritPt physics score from 18% to 26% at the same reasoning setting

On most tests, yes: Muse Spark 1.3 scores 57.9% on AutomationBench against 35.4% for Claude Haiku 5.5 and 33.7% on HLE-Diamond against 29.6%. Haiku 5.5 is ahead at writing ready-to-merge code, with 34.9% on FrontierCode 2.0 against 23.1%. Both models are in Overchat AI

Muse Wonder is Meta's bigger frontier model, released in October 2026, and Muse Spark is the lighter one. Muse Wonder scores higher on every test it shares with Spark, for example 52.0% on Terminal-Bench 4.0 against 33.3%, and Muse Spark costs fewer credits per message on Overchat AI

No. Meta has not published the weights of Muse Spark 1.3. Meta's open model in the family is a separate one, Muse Spark Open. Muse Spark 1.3 is available through the Meta Model API, Muse Code, OpenRouter and Overchat AI
